WILL and JIM ;
They are both well known in Charleston Neck and in the city,
from their driving the cart with fodder and marketing to town

the appearance of a boy of 15 or 16 ; he is very bushy headed,
and had on when he went away, a homespun shirt and checked
homespun trowsers. — Jim is about 18, taller, but not so strong
made as Will ; has a mark on the upper part of his nose adjoining
his forehead, remarkably black, and about the size of a

blue homespun trowsers. Ten Dollars reward will be given for
