Transcription: Twenty-five Dollars Reward. RUNAWAY from the Subscriber on the 10th inst a mulatto fellow, about 27 or 28 years of age, by the name of BEN, about 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, stout made, with a scar on one side of his head occasioned by the stroke of an ax; he is a blacksmith by trade. Should he attempt to pass as a free man, which in all probability he will from his colour, I expect he will be endeavouring to get employment in that line. Any person who will secure him in jail that I shall get him again shall receive the above reward, and if brought to me shall have all reasonble expences paid. ABRAHAM M'LIMORE. Franklin County, 20th May, 1812.
