RAN AWAY the beginning of June last, a young likely negro man, about 6 feet high, and very black, named Wiltshire, and a cooper by trade; had on a white cloth coat with a cape. Whoever secures him in the work-house, or delivers him to me at Stono, shall have Twenty Pounds reward and all reasonable charges. William Butler.
