TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD. RAN AWAY from the subscriber, on the 14th ultimo, a negro man named PETER, about 5 feet 4 or 5 inches high, well set, of a very yellow complexion, with very long hair before, growing high up in his forehead, of about 40 years of age, the middle finger of his right hand is off above the second joint; he is a shoemaker by trade, and took with him sundry shoemaking tools. Also a negro woman named JUDE, of a tall spare make, pretty black, about 30 years of age. They are both supposed to be lurking in this county, having relations at Mr. John Blount's and Mrs. Mary Blount's. Whoever takes up said negroes, and will deliver them to me, or confine them so that I get them again, shall receive the above reward and all reasonable expences. WILLIAM WHEDBEE Perquimans, March 1, 1796. 1m
