Transcription: 25 Dollars Reward. Ran away from the subscriber, on the 6th instant, a negro man named DANIEL, about 33 years old, about 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, of a black complexion, and when spoken to is apt to look down; his teeth is tolerably wide apart; he is a house carpenter by trade, and worked in Pittsborough, Chatham county, at the time he ran away. It is supposed that he is lurking behind Hosel Singleton's wagon, as he carried his wife away, and was with the wagon the last I heard of him. Singleton drove a red wagon with three horses, two sorrels and a bay; he had in family the wife of Daniel and five black children; Singleton's wife had no children. A reward of twenty-five dollars will be given for his apprehension and confinement in any jail so that I get him again. HENRY BROWN, Agent for Alfred Alston. Fish Dam, Wake Co.} Nov. 22, 1831} 48 3m
