One Hundred Dollars Reward.
RUN AWAY from the Subscriber, in the month of February
last, a NEGRO WENCH, named CATEY. She is a stout Wench,
a little above the middle height, rather of a cooper color than
black, and is an intelligent country-born Negro—speaks plain
and plausibly, has always been a house servant, and is a good
seamstress and washer-woman. It was conjectured she would
attempt to make her escape in some vessel bound to some one of the Northern States, but as this port has been closely watched,
and she has not been heard of, it may be that she may
take a passage to Charleston, where she has some acquaintances,
and from whence she might more readily prosecute her
voyage northwardly. The above reward shall be paid to any
person who will deliver the above described Wench, if she is
apprehended out of this state, to the jailer in this place.
