$20 Reward, WILL be paid by the subscriber, for the apprehension of his two negro men, SIMON and JOHN. Simon is a Cooper by trade; he is a stout well set fellow, not very black for a negro; he is about 31 years of age, and was raised by me in this town. John is, perhaps, better known by the name of yellow John Nixon; was raised on Topsail Sound--he is about 32 or 33 years old. They are both plausible fellows. They ran away about the 14th or 15th of last month. Or, I will give a reward of Ten Dollars for either Simon or John, delivered to me, or put in jail in this town. It is supposed they are lurking about on Topsail Sound, or Harrison's Creek. C. DUDLEY. Wilmington, Feb'y 2d, 1836. 5 2w.
