$25 REWARD.
RUNAWAY from the subscriber on Friday last, a bright mulatto man, nearly white, named Sam; six feet or upwards high and very stout; twen-ty three or four years of age; a Blacksmith by trade and a good workman. He may not ask for work, as he has enough money to take him to a free State. He wore off a green blanket over coat, casinett frock coat and pantaloons and a black fur hat, all nearly new. He is a likely, smart fellow, and will try to pass for a free white man and get to a free State. I will give the above reward if taken out of the State, and ten if taken in the State and secured so that I get him. Write to me at Cornersville, Giles county, Tennessee.
WM M’CLURE.
