Transcription: R U N A W A Y, A LIKELY country born MULATTO FELLOW, named Lazarus, about 23 years old, with a bushy head of hair, 5 feet 8 inches high, well made, speaks good English, and may probably endeavour to pass for free. Should he return of his own accord he will be forgiven, but otherwise TEN DOLLARS will be paid by the subscriber to any person who will apprehend and bring the said fellow to Savannah, and lodge him in gaol. Any person harbouring said fellow may depend upon being prosecuted to the utmost rigour.
