TEN POUNDS REWARD, for apprehending and delivering in any gaol, so that the owner gets him, a Negro Man Slave, named George, BY TRADE A BLACKSMITH.  He made his elopement last October from Port Royal Virginia.  He is a black Virginia-born, speaks plain, and is very sensible, about 6 feet high, well made, has a brisk walk, large legs and arms, small over the belly, small face, somewhat hollow-eyed, about 28 years of age, is fond of smoking the pipe; he was well cloathed when he went away, but his dress I can not describe.  I expect he will change his name, pass a freeman, AND GET EMPLOYMENT IN THE SMITH’S BUSINESS, AT WHICH HE IS A VERY GOOD HAND. The above reward will be given, with reasonable Charges, if delivered to the subscriber, in Port Royal Virginia.

RUN-AWAY

From the Subscriber
About ten days ago
A Negro Fellow Named
BILLY

BY TRADE A TAYLOR, of a yellowish complexion, and has a very remarkable bushy head of hair, he is well known about Santee, where he formerly lived, and had a wife, especially at Mr. Isaac Dubose’s and also in Charleston, where he was worked at his trade for four or five years past.  The above fellow is very artful and plausible, and may perhaps by telling a good tale, endeavour to pass for a freeman.  A guinea reward will be paid to any person who will secure him in the Work-house in Charleston, or deliver him to the subscriber at Stono.

N.B.  All persons whatever are hereby cautioned against harbouring the above fellow, as they shall and may expect to be prosecuted with the utmost rigor of the law; and in case of his not returning home within a month from this date, a reward of Five Guineas will be paid to any person, either white or black, who will produce his head to his said master, whose lenity and indulgence hitherto, has been the cause of his present desertion and ingratitude.
