R U N A W A Y From the subscriber about three weeks ago, A NEGRO MAN, named TOM, of the Guinea country, but has no visible marks about him; he is a little of a yellowish complexion, about five feet nine inches high, straight made, has lost one of his upper fore teeth, speaks tolerable good English, ha on when he went away a short roun blue jacket and long trowsers, and an old white hat; he is a jobbing carpenter by trade, is supposed to be harboured by some of his acquaintances in town, or the plantations near it, as he was seen in town last Sunday. Whoever delivers the said negro to me, or the Warden of the Workhouse, shall receive THREE GUINEAS REWARD; if he returns of his own accord he will be forgiven. SAMUEL BAAS. Savannah, March 3, 1789.
