50 Dollars Reward, WILL be paid for stopping and commiting to the work-house, a Negro Fellow named PLENTY, the property of the Subscriber; the said fellow Plenty is very easily known, as he goes about with a ticket which the Subscriber has given to his mother (named Lindon) for the purpose of looking for a master for him, and he makes use of that ticket for his pass. He has fixed on a plan of conduct, which he has uniformly kept since his absence, (about a month ago), he goes regular once or twice a week, to plunder the plantations of Goosecreek, and return with fowls and other things for the Sullivan’s-Island market, and occasionaly fishes in the neighborhood of South-Bay or the Island. Any person who will think the above reward worthy their attention, will catch him in a few days, by looking for him, either at Sulivan’s-Island, or at Goosecreek; about the Subscriber’s place, or Messrs.
