Notice and Reward
Macon & Western Rail Road Company
Macon, Ga., Aug. 12th, 1862
 
   Runaway from this company on Saturday night, instant, three negro men, viz:
   MARK, dark complexion, 5 feet 9 inches high, about 26 years old, weight about 160 pounds.
   AUGUS, dark complexion, 5 feet 5 inches high, 25 years old, weight about 150 pounds.
   HARDY, yellow complexion, 5 feet 4 inches high, 23 years old, weight about 140 pounds.
   These negroes were recently bought by Mr. J. P. Lovett, in the lower part of North Carolina, for this Company, and it is thought they will probably try to go back there. I will pay a reward of Fifty Dollars each for their arrest and confinement in any Jail in North or South Carolina, and advice thereof, so I can get them.
   David Brown, Esq., who lives near Warsaw, N. C. , will know Hardy; L. R. Loftin, near Bear Swamp, N. C., will know Mark.
