FOR SALE, A NEGRO MAN and his wife, with a male child upwards of two years
old. They are all stout and healthy. The man is an excellent hand in a brick-yard, and understands all kinds of farming well. The woman is a good cook, and well acquainted with every species of house work. They are sober, and I believe perfectly honest. Any person wishing to purchase either or all of the above servants, may know the terms by applying to the subscriber, where they can be seen. JOHN CHETWOOD. Eliz.Town, March 30, 1819.
