Twenty Dollars Reward. RAN away from the subscriber in the month of September 1797, a Negro Fellow named QUACO, (formerly the property of John Hall, Esquire) a Blacksmith by trade. He is about five feet ten inches high, squints much, and has a drawling tone when he speaks. He is supposed to be harboured about the plantations of Jennet Spendlove and of William Jones; in Bladen county. Any person delivering said fellow to the subscriber on the North-east, or lodging him in the goal in Wilmington, shall receive the above reward--and 20 dollars more if the said fellow has been harboured by a white man, upon conviction of the offender. William Hooper. Wilmington, February 7. tf
