--Ran away from the agent of the Piedmont Railroad, at Reidsville, N C, two slaves, William and Bill. William is a dark gingerbread color, about 23 years old, good looking, full face, well formed, about 5 feet 10 inches high. Bill is the same color and age, not so good looking or sprightly, of fair sense, lips rather thick, mouth large, and teeth rather open, round shoulders, and about 5 feet 8 inches high. Bill has in his possession new sheep's gray clothes, coat and pants. William has on clothes of darker color.--They are making their way to Williamsburg, on the Peninsula, by the way of Richmond or Petersburg I will give the above reward for both of them, or the one half for either, delivered to me in jail at Danville, Richmond city, or in any county near the Danville Railroad, and information given me of their being in jail.
