Runaway
--Left our store, on the 20th of August, a negro man named John, the property of De A of Lexington, Va. John is about 6 feet high, of a bright gingerbread color, and very likely. He speaks in a low tone, and is very polite and in manner. He may be lurking in or near Sidney, as he had a room above the Old Fair Grounds, on Main Street, or he may have followed some one in the army as it passed through to Tennessee. We will give $50 for the arrest in or near the city, or $100 if he be lodged in any jail in or out of the State, where we can get him.
