RUN-AWAY from the Subscriber at Ponpon, last Sunday evening, a NEGRO FELLOW, named POMPEY, by trade a carpenter, an artful, sensible fellow, very much pitted with the small-pox, and was formerly the property of Mr. John Webb, Merchant; he is well known in Charles Town, where it is supposed he is harboured, as he was seen on his way to town; had on when he went away a jacket and pair of trowsers of blue plains, and a speckled shirt. Whoever will deliver the said fellow to the warden of the work-house in Charles-Town, or to the subscriber at Ponpon, shall receive a reward of FIVE POUNDS. JOSEPH BEE.
