RUN-AWAY a negro man named FRANCIS, by trade a carpenter, and used to work on board of vessels; he is six feet high, very black complexion, likely and handsome for his age, which is near fifty. He plays upon the fiddle, and is well known about Hobcaw, where he has a brother, and where it is supposed he is harboured. TEN POUNDS reward will be given to any person who will deliver the said fellow at my plantation at Goose-Creek, or to the warden of the work house in Charles-Town, by
BENJAMIN SINGELLTON.
