Ran-Away, A NEGRO FELLOW, named LANDER; had on a blue coat and buckskin pantaloons, and took with him for a change a brown camblet great coat and green overhalls [sic]. Lander is about five feet nine inches high, and twenty-two years old, had one of his fore teeth broke short, which occasions him to speak low: Lander is well known in town, and has friends at Ashepoo, and has a wife at Nelson’s ferry; it is expected he is gone to one or other of the above places. A reward of Fifty Dollars will be given on conviction that he harbored by a white man, and Ten Dollars will be paid on delivering him at No.
