RAN AWAY from the subscriber on the 26th day of this instant in Marengo county, from the farm of the subscribers, two miles from Centreville, two negro men JERRY and ANDY. Jerry is a mulatto--Andy black. Both of them are near the same age and size. They weigh perhaps about 150 each. They may be between twenty and twenty-four years of age. We cannot accurately describe their clothes they my wear. Each of them have with them two pair of pantaloons, a pair of brown Janes, a pair of Casinet do. Each one has a banket. Jerry, the mulatto, has a snuff colored cloth coat and black wool hat with him. Andy, (black) had on a blue mixed janes coat, with a white hat. Both of their coats are pretty well worn out. The subscribers will give fifty dollars for the two boys, twenty-five dollars for either. They will probably try to go back to North Carolina, by the way of Tuscaloosa and thence to Florence on the way that we brought them from North Carolina, Bancom county, where we purchased them.
