About 17 years of age. He is very likely, and of a yellow complexion, trim and well made – he has been accustomed for several years to work at the Coach painting business, and can paint tolerably well.

To the Public
Some base malicious persons have put in circulation a report that I have been partial to some persons in the discharge of my duties, as assessor, in taking a true assessment of the taxable property in Laughry township. – I inform the public that these reports are unfounded, and the propagators of them destitute of truth. – I have taken the oath required by law for faithful performance of my duty – If I have not gone according to law I am subject to the penalities – and I invite those persons who have circulated this report to prove one charge against me – if I have been guilty of any misconduct punish me; if innocent I should like to be honorably acquitted. – I therefore invite a public investion of my conduct.
J. P. Wood.
Assessor for Laughry Township

50 Dollars Reward!!
RUNAWAY from the subscriber, some time in March last, a negro man named JIM;
He is about 35 years old; stout and well made; rather low stature; yellow complexion.—Had on when he went away white linsey coat and pantaloons, the coat was cut too small, and has a piece put in the middle seam; much marked with the small pox; stammers and has a difficulty speaking. It is supposed he is somewhere in the state of Indiana, as he has been seen near Lawrenceburgh, in company with another black man, by a Mr. George Smith—who resides on the waters of White River.
The above reward will be given in SECIE, to any person who will secure him in the jail at Louisville, Ky. and inform the subscriber, living near Elizabethtown, Hardin county, Ky. Any information that will enable me to get the above named negro, will be received thankfully and liberally rewarded.
