Twenty Dollars Reward. RANAWAY from the Subscriber on the 29th November last, his Negro man CALEB. He is about five feet six inches high; yellow complexion; a little marked with the small pox--has lost some of his fore teeth, and is an excellent cooper. He is about thirty-six years old, and was bought in Norfolk, Virginia, in the year 1803, to which place, or to Newbern, N.C. I think it probable he will go. I will give Twenty Dollars to any person who will confine him in any jail so that I get him again. DAVID HOOKS. Duplin County, N.C. January 10th, 1825 The Editors of the Norfolk Beacon are requested to give the above three insertions, and forward their account to the Postmaster, Newbern.
