Ten Dollars Reward. RAN-AWAY from the subscriber, on South River Bladen County, a Negro man named TOM, a Shoe-maker by trade, very black, rather small, slim made, has a very upright carriage, quick walk, and small short foot--had on when he went off a pair of Shoe-boots. He was seen about three weeks ago in a small boat, going to Wilmingotn, where I suspect he has got on board some vessel. Masters of vessels and others are cautioned against harbouring, employing or carrying him away. The above Reward will be paid for lodging him in jail so that I get him, and in addition thereto all reasonable expences for bringing him to me. Wm. H. Beatty. October 21.--tf.
