about 28 years of age, 5 feet
8 or 9 inches high, this country born, rather bowlegged, sensible and
artful, speaks quick, and sometimes stutters a little; HE MAY POSSIBLY
HAVE A TICKET THAT I GAVE HIM TWO DAYS BEFORE HE WENT AWAY, DATED THE
6TH OF APRIL, MENTIONING HE WAS IN QUEST OF A RUNAWAY, AS I DID NOT
MENTION WHEN HE WAS TO RETURN, HE MAY ENDEAVOUR TO PASS BY THAT; he was
seen on the road towards Goose Creek, where he has relations at Mr. John
Parkers, and at Cane Acre, at Mr. John Gough's, at either or both places
he may be harboured, or in Charleston at Mr. Benjamin Villepontour's,
where he formerly had a wife. The above reward will be given and all
reasonable charges paid on his being delivered in St. Stephens Parish to
Thomas Cooper.

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.

JOSEPH BEE.
March 21, 1789.

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.

FIVE DOLLARS REWARD

Absented himself from the subscriber about the 10th of April, a likely
young Negro Fellow, named Carolina; HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ACCUSTOMED TO WAIT
IN THE HOUSE; he was seen in the city about ten days ago, dressed in a
sailor jacket and trowsers. Carolina plays remarkably well on the violin.

The above reward will be paid to any person delivering him to the Master
of the Work-House or at No 11 East Bay.
