200 DOLLARS REWARD

Run away in the spring of the last year, from this place, a Young fellow belonging to me, named John, sometimes called Johnson, at times calling himself John Hill, at other times John Howe.  This fellow is about 5 feet 5 inches high, 23 years old, and is of a dull copper-colour, being the son of a mulatto man and negro woman; his features are generally ugly; his eyes remarkably large and prominent; he is sensible and shrewd, civil in his manners, and plausible in conversation; he served his time with a cabinet maker, and has worked as journeyman with a Windsor Chair-maker; he is very ingenious, and well acquainted with the use of the joiners tools.  JOHN READS AND I BELIEVE CAN WRITE A LITTLE.  He probably made some one of the Northern ports the place of his destination, or perhaps Charleston.  I will pay the above reward to any person who will deliver John to me or to the Jailor in this place.

  W. H. HILL.
