--Ranaway on the 25th of August, two Negro Men, named John and Charles.
John is 14 years old; black, has a full head of hair; is 6 feet; inch high; will weigh about 100 pounds; had on when he left a soft black hat, drab coat and blue cotton pants.
Charles, his brother, is 20 years old; black; has a full head of hair; is 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high; weighs about 165 or 170 lbs. He also had on a soft black hat, drab coat and blue pants.
I purchased them of W. C. Vasmeter, who lives near Cornfield, Virginia.

They came to Richmond by railroad from Strasburg.
I will give the above reward for them, or Fifty Dollars for either, delivered to Hector Davis, in Richmond.
