STOP THE ROGUE

Taken from my residence on Sunday night the 6th of March, a detached, lever 
watch, french gold, made by Duchene Peyrot and numbered No. 68277, Geneva. 
The watch is supoosed to have been taken by a man who stopped at night with 
me at the time it is supposed to have been taken. The said individual called 
himself Mr. Morris while at my house, but I have since ascertained that his 
real name is Bud LAY.

Said LAY has recently been a citizen of Cobb county, Georgia but I believe 
that he is now on his way to York District, where he originally emigrated 
from. He is about five feet ten inches high, dark straight hair, dark skin. 
At the time he was with me, he wore a moustache without any other beard and 
had on a plush cap, dark cussimere coat, gray pants and no vest and wore a 
gold watch and chain, with three gold rings on his fingers. He professed to 
be a tobacconist. He is a much sharper man than he would pass for and 
persons encountering him had best be on their guard. A liberal reward will 
be paid for the delivery of the watch and the detection of the thief, or for 
sufficient information to secure a conviction. B.D. KAY, Lowndesville, S.C.,
