Article states the following: "Ranaway from the subscriber on the 6th day of Dec 1818, in Gallatin county, Ky. Corn Creek, a bright mulato named PETER [Hood], about 6 feet high, very stout and well made, his hair short and wooly, had on when he went away a black broadcloth coat and pantaloons, and white waistcoat, and a pair of shoes with the vamps and wuarters all cut in one piece. Any person apprehending or securing said negro in any jail so that I can get him again, shall recieve the [$40] reward. Any person catching said negro, must be very careful that he don't get way, as he is very artful."
