Ranaway --On the 4th of July, a negro boy named Jackson, about 30 years old, his front teeth above are out, quick spoken, spare built; of jet black complexion, weighs about 130 pounds. He can read and write very well. He wore off a checked flannel shirt and black hat; had two watches in his pocket.
