FIVE POUNDS REWARD.
Bush creek Forge,
September 6, 1785.
RAN away this morning, the two following negro men, viz. HARRY, a thick well set fellow, 30 years of age, 5 feet 4 or 5 inches high, yellow complexion, thin lips, down look, talks fast, by trade a forgeman. JOB, about 26 years of age, 5 feet 8 inches high, very black, bow legged, slow spoken, came from the eastern shore, where it is very probable he will endeavour to get again, by trade a tanner. Whosoever secures the above negroes, so that they are got again, shall receive the above reward, or fifty shillings for either.
ROGER JOHNSON.
