    $100 Reward for Runaway
   Ranaway from the subscriber on the 9th of October 1853, my negro woman, 
SARAH. She is about 27 years old, five feet two or three inches high, weighs 
about 120 or 130 pounds. She has lost the upper front tooth; it has either 
decayed or been broken off. She is of a black color, holds her head erect, 
with a smiling countenance when spoken to. I understant that she has a child 
several months old. She is probably stalking about MR. JOHN RICHARDSON'S 
plantation on the east side of the Cape Fear River, in Bladen County, as she 
has relations on that plantation, or may be in Robeson County in the 
neighborhood of ARCHIBALD MALLOY, where her husband is at work, or more 
probably in the suburbs of Fayetteville, as she has been heard of there 
several times among her friends.
   I will give fifty dollards for her delivery to me, or her confinement in 
any jail so that I can get her; and fifty dollars to convict any white person 
of harboring said Negro.
