Thirty Dollars Reward. RUNAWAY on the 14th February last, from the subscriber, living in Chatham county, N. Carolina, a mulatto man, named JIM, about six feet high, stout made, has a scar under his right eye, a small piece off of his left ear. Said Fellow is about 27 years of age, he is a tolerable good shoe maker and cooper, is very handy with any kind of tools whatever, and is fond of spirits. Had on when he went away, a pair of leather pantaloons and a short homespun coat. The above reward will be paid to any person who will deliver him to me, or secure him in any jail, so that I get him again, all reasonable expences will be paid for me. JOAB BROOKS. March 2nd, 1814. 9 3tsp
