RUN away from this
place a negro fellow named
Salem, about 5 feet 9 inches high, lusty and well made,speaks good English, and is used to the river trade; had on when he went away a greenjacket, dirty trowsers, blue stockings, new shoes, white metal buckles, and a chip
hat; he is supposed to have gone down the river, as he took with him a small boat marked on the stern H. S. Whoever brings the said slave and boat to Newbern, shall have
the above reward.
FRANCES BATCHELOR.
