Marronnage — Fugitive Slave Advertisements

Ran-away, From the subscriber, about 9 o’clock on Monday night last, his Negro Servant GARDEN; he had on when he went away, a long dark cloth Coat, with yellow buttons, and thickset Pantaloons; he is a thick, short fellow, large face, with thick lips and flat nose. I hope that he will not be harbored by any one, at least I should be very sorry if it was to be the case, on account of having before met with very bad success in attempting a prosecution of that kind, so that any man who may have the above Negro in his possession, is welcome to return him to me. I will pay him FIVE DOLLARS, and be very thankful to him for his honesty; and will not commence any prosecution against him.
