to be sold as the Property of Col._ ALEXANDER MOULTRIE. _Condition, cash payable in dollars, at 4s 8d, the property not to be altered until the terms are complied with.[1]_ ALSO WILL BE SOLD.-- _A few articles of_ Household Furniture as _the property of the estate of_ James Paterson, _deceased, for arrearages of State and City Taxes. Condition, cash, purchasers to pay for Sheriff's bills of sale._ City Sheriff's Office, Jan. 4. J. H. STEVENS, City Sheriff. _City Gazette & Daily Advertiser_, Jan. 5, 1799. FOOTNOTE: [1] This advertisement appears also under another heading. TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD For Jack who has again run-away. The subscriber's servant Jack, who calls himself John Leech, again absconded last night. He is a short well made young Mulatto, probably about five feet five inches high, about twenty-five years of age, and plausible; he has a thick bushy head of hair, like a negro's; thick lips, a film on his left eye, over which he sometimes wears a peace of green silk. He belonged when he was a child, to the late Ephraim Mitchell, esq. deceased, and afterwards to Francis Bremar, esq. from whom the subscriber bought him. He is well acquainted all over the state, having waited upon his former masters when traveling, and also upon the subscriber when he went on the Circuits. HE CAN WRITE HIMSELF AND MAY FORGE A PASS OR CERTIFICATE OF FREEDOM. He had on, when he went off, a pair of overalls, and waistcoat of servant's cloth of a light grey mixed colour almost new, and carried several changes with him nearly of the same colour, and several coatees like them, with capes, cuffs and welts to the pockets of green cloth; but he may change his clothes; he also carried away a great coat of a drab colour spotted. He may go to Goose-creek or to the vicinity of Belville, Statesburg or Columbia, or attempt to go to the northward, but if its most suspected, that he will endeavour to get on board of some vessel. Whoever will deliver him to the subscriber, or to the Master of the Work-house or lodge him in any gaol of the State, shall receive the above reward, and if he should be harboured by any one that the reward will be doubled upon the harbourers being prosecuted to conviction by the informer. All Masters of Vessels and others are warned against employing him or carrying him out of the city. LEWIS TREZVANT. _The Carolina Gazette_, Feb. 4, 1802. SLAVES IN GOOD
