Run away from the subscriber at Ponpon, the latter end of September last, a sensible country born negro man, named Tom, about 6 feet high, well made, by trade a carpenter, carried with him when he went away some carpenters tools, and had on a negro cloth jacket and oznabrugs trowsers, has a large baird, and breast very hairy, is well known on St. Helena, Edisto-Island, and at Ponpon, at either of which places 'tis supposed he may be concealed, as he is cunning and sensible enough to tell a very plausible story any where. Whoever takes up the said fellow, or can give certain information where he may be had, shall (if a white person) have a reward of 15 pounds, or (if a negro) 7 pounds.
James Reid.
