$20 REWARD
RAN away from the plantation of the subscriber on the 1st instant, a
negro man named Phill, about 30 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high,
yellow complexion, slender made, rather knock-kneed, turns out his toes
when walking, branded on both cheeks, an S on one and a C on the other,
also marked with notches or slits on both ears; had an iron on his neck
and one on his leg when he went off. It is supposed that he will
endeavor to get to Little Rock or Davidsonville, Arkansas Territory; as
he was once stolen, taken to that place and sold, and has since made
several attempts to go back to that place. The above reward of twenty
dollars if taken in the Territory of Arkansas, or ten dollars if taken
in this state, will be paid to any person who will apprehend said negro,
and secure him so that I get him again.

DIED - At his residence at Cantonment Towson, after a long and
painful illness, on the 29th ult. William Bradford, Brigadier General of
the Militia of the Territory of Arkansas, and Suttler to the above post,
aged about 55 years.
Gen. Bradford was for many years a Captain in the U.S. Army, and
distinguished himself during the late war, and in the Indian Wars in the
South, under Gen. Jackson, as a brave and intrepid officer; and on one
occasion, received a severe wound in the body, which has proved a
painful and serious inconvenience to him during the subsequent part of
his life. He was for several years Commanding Officer at Fort Smith,
where he remained until the garrison of that post was increased by the
force under Col. Arbuckle, when he was appointed to the rank of Major by
brevet, shortly after which he resigned his commission in the Army, with
the intention of returning to the walks of private life.
Few men have been more actively or more usefully employed during their
lives, and few have died more universally regretted by a large circle of
acquaintances, than Gen. Bradford. |

DIED - In the vicinity of this place, on Tuesday night last, Henry
Armstrong, an infant son of George W. Scott, Esq. Auditor of this

A RUNAWAY
ABSCONDED from Crawford County, in the spring of 1826, indebted to the
subscriber in the sum of Two Hundred and Nineteen Dollars, a certain man
named JOHN COLLEY.
He is rather chunky made, quick motioned, walks a little stooped, round
shouldered, low necked, has large white eyes, a long nose, long
under-lip, sells a tolerable good anecdote, sings a very good song, and
tops a bowl with considerable grace.
All persons knowing of such unprincipled characters living in any
country in like manner, would do considerable favor to the public, to
put them in the public prints. Our county has been very much infested
with such devils, but it is to be hoped that it is pretty well rid of
them, as there has a great many left it within the last nine months.

SALE OF LOTS
In the
TOWN OF WASHINGTON,
Seat of Justice of Hempstead County, A.T.
The rapid increase of the population of the Town of Washington, has
induced the Trustees to throw a few more Lots into market, at the next
January term of the Hempstead Circuit Court, ( which commences on
Monday, the 15th of January next, ) when they will offer, on the first
and second days of said term, at Public Auction, on the premises, about
thirty of the most valuable LOTS in the Town of Washington, on a credit
of six and twelve months.
The title papers for the Town of Washington being now in the possession
of the Trustees, will remove all doubts as to the title of said
property, and the permanency of the location of the Seat of Justice for
Hempstead County.
The pleasant and healthy situation of the Town - the fertile lands that
surround it - the convenience of navigation - and the improvement of
roads from the head of steam-boat navigation - offer sufficient
inducements to men of capital and enterprise, to become permanent
citizens of this Town and its vicinity.
A complete Map of the Town will be exhibited on the day of the Sale.
