10 Dollars Reward.
RAN AWAY, on the 21st instant, a NEGRO FELLOW, named
THOMAS, of a yellowish complexion, formerly the property
of Mr. GEORGE CHISOLM, and now of General VANDERHORST,
on whose wharf he has worked as a labourer
for these three or four years past—Had on a large fearnought
jacket, or great coat, lined with red flannel, and blue negro
cloth trowsers—His face appears generally swelled, and when
speaking, has a kind of a wheese, as if he had lately caught
cold, supposed to be the effect of liquor. There is reason for
supposing that he is harboured about some of the dram shops
in Smith’s Lane, lower end of King-Street, or South Bay; but
as he has relations and acquaintance about Parker’s Ferry, perhaps
he may have gone there, with an excuse to spend the
holidays. All persons are hereby cautioned against harbouring,
employing, or carrying said negro out of the state, as the law
in either case will be enforced with the utmost rigour. Whoever
secures him in the work-house in Charleston, shall have the
above reward, by applying on Vanderhorst’s Wharf, to John Crawford.
December 31.
