"$100 REWARD.--Ran away from the subscriber, a bright mulatto man-slave, named Sam. _Light sandy hair, blue eyes, ruddy complexion,--is so white as very easily to pass for a free white man._ EDWIN PECK. "Mobile, April 22, 1837."
"RAN AWAY, on the 15th of May, from me, a negro woman, named Fanny. Said woman is 20 years old; is rather tall; can read and write, and so forge passes for herself. Carried away with her a pair of ear-rings,--a Bible with a red cover; is very pious. She prays a great deal, and was, as supposed, contented and happy. _She is as white as most white women, with straight light hair, and blue eyes, and can pass herself for a white woman._ I will give $500 for her apprehension and delivery to me. She is very intelligent.
"$50 REWARD will be given for the apprehension and delivery to me of the following slaves,--Samuel and Judy, his wife, with their four children, belonging to the estate of Sacker Dubberly, deceased.
"I will give $10 for the apprehension of _William Dubberly_, a slave belonging to the estate. William is about 19 years old, _quite white, and would not readily be taken for a slave_.
The next two advertisements we cut from the "New Orleans Picayune" of Sept. 2, 1846:
"$25 REWARD.--Ran away from the plantation of Madame Fergus Duplantier, on or about the 27th of June, 1846, a bright mulatto, named Ned, very stout built, about 5 feet 11 inches high, _speaks English and French_, about 35 years old, waddles in his walk. _He may try to pass himself for a white man, as he is of a very clear color, and has sandy hair._ The above reward will be paid to whoever will bring him to Madame Duplantier's plantation, Manchac, or lodge him in some jail where he can be conveniently obtained."
"$200 REWARD.--Ran away from the subscriber, last November, _a white negro_ man, about 35 years old, height about 5 feet 8 or 10 inches, _blue eyes, has a yellow woolly head, very fair skin_, (particularly under his clothes).... Said negro man was raised in Columbia, S.C. and is well known by the name of Dick Frazier.... He was lately known to be working on the railroad in Alabama, near Moore's Turn Out, _and passed as a white man_, by the name of Jesse Teams. I will give the above reward for his delivery in any jail, so that I can get him; and I will give $500 for sufficient proof to convict, in open court, any man who carried him away.
