Fifty Dollars Reward.
Absented himself about three months since, (with a ticket to
pass him on an errand in the neighborhood) a NEGRO MAN,
named PETER ; he is about twenty-six years old, five feet six
inches in height, has a plotting thoughtful countenance, a very
broad flat nose, broad shoulders, a little bow legged and of a
strong active make, very plausible when spoken to, and affects
to be a preacher among the negroes ; wears a long coat, and
a calico shawl about his neck. He was born in Maryland, and
has been in this state about ten years ; he retains much of his
Northward manner of speaking. It is supposed he has made
for the back country. All persons are cautioned not to harbor
or carry him out of the state. The above reward will be paid
with all reasonable expences, for lodging him in the gaol in
Jacksonborough, or the Charleston Work-House, or applying
to Mr. KINSEY BURDEN, Factor, in Charleston.
