Transcription: 100 REWARD
RAN AWAY from the subscriber in Warren county, North Carolina, the 1st of March last, JOHN, is likely bright mulatto Fellow, about 5 feet 11 inches high, & about 25 years of age; he has a small scar on one of his eyelids, and a scar on one of his sides from the cut of an axe; he is a smart ingenious fellow, and can do almost any thing--he can work at the Carpenters trade, make rough Shoes and is a good Painter. It is probable he will try to pass as a free man. I am informed he was seen on his way to the Town of Halifax, where he said I had sent him to do some painting. I will give the above reward to any person who will deliver him to me at home, or half that sum if he should be secured in any Jail so that I get him again.
W.P. LITTLE.
