Forty Dollars Reward.
RAN-AWAY from the Subscriber last June, a FELLOW named
HARDTIMES: he is rather tall and stout, is knock-kneed,
has dimples in his cheeks when he laughs, is gay, hesitates somewhat
in his speech, and ploughs well; he formerly belonged
to colonel Thomson, deceased, and was heard of in the neighborhood
where he once lived, having been bought last of major Haskell, and appears to be about twenty years old.
Also, BOB, a fellow when went away at the same time: he
was bought about five years ago of col. Sabo, of Orangeburgh,
has a scar over his right eye, is very short, muscular, very
black and bow legged; appears to be about twenty-seven years
old, looks to be rather humped in the back, but is not so, and
has lost some of his upper front teeth. He knows something of
croping [sic] and works eagerly with his hoe; he broke out of
Winsborough gaol last October, where he had been committed.
Twenty Dollars reward will be paid and all reasonable charges,
on the delivery of either at my plantation on the Combahee
near the ferry.
James Smith.
