Two hundred Dollars Reward.

--Ran away in the month of August, 1861, my negro woman Liza, sometimes called Elizabeth Giges, half white, hair inclined to curl, large black eyes, tail and straight, a small spot on one side of her face, does not speak very quick when spoken to, about 28 or 30 years old; was formerly owned and told by Mr Lipscomb, living near Broad Rock, in the county of Chesterfield. She may be lurking about in that vicinity, or the town of Manchester or the city of Richmond, about which places she is well acquainted. The above reward of $200 will be paid for her delivery to me at Public Warehouse, or secured in any jail so that I get her again.

B. J. Vaughan.
Richmond, Jan. 8th, 1863 ja 8--2sw4w*
