$25 Reward for return of Robert Dunlap, runaway.
Ran away from the Subscriber on the 12, inst., a Mulatto Boy, named Robert, who will probably call himself Robt. Dunlap, about 20 years of age, five feet 8 or 10 inches high, will weigh about 165 or 70- has blue eyes, straight sandy hair, and a skin as fair as a dark skined white man - dressed in very common style, with a blue cloth coat, somewhat worn.
He is unassuming - talks but little - retiring in his manners - but is somewhat fond of ardent spirits. He has probably aimed for a free state. The above reward will be given for his apprehension and delivery in any county Jail, upon notice being given to the subscriber at Elizabethton Tenn.

Also $10 Reward for the apprehension of Jacob Parnell.
Will be given for the apprehension of Jacob Parnell, a bright Mulatto Boy, about 19 years of age, near 6 feet high, tolerably well built, somewhat talkative upon an acquaintance -- inclined to be moral, not imprudent; with rather a downlook, works well in a Forge - but can turn his hand to almost any thing. Jacob had on, when he left, which was about Christmas, a blue frock coat of Cloth, and had with him a blue dress coat, and some other clothing, not recollected.
