20 DOLLARS REWARD RANAWAY, on the 29th April last, William H. Chambers, an indented apprentice to the Tailoring Business. I hereby forwarn any and every person from harboring or employing the said boy, as I will prosecute to the utmost extent of the law any so offending. The above boy is about 16 years of age, and has a downcast look, and lazy walk. I suppose he is lurking about Cowpen Neck, in Chowan County, or at Gatesville, where he has relations--or probably at Portsmouth or Norfolk, in Virginia, where he has a sister. I will give the above reward to any person who will deliver him to me in Edenton, or confine him in jail, so that I get him again. STEPHEN ELLIOT. May 1--ts
