Thirty Dollars Reward. RUN-AWAY from Mrs. Elbert, near Savannah, about eight months ago, a Negro Fellow, named Prince, of a dark complexion, short and junky made, a Blacksmith by trade, and used to work at Spirit creek saw mills, with Mr. Atkinson, when he lived there; he is supposed to be harboured at this time in that neighbourhood. The above Reward of Thirty Dollars will be given on conviction that he is harboured, or ten dollars on his being delivered to Mrs. Elbert, near Ogechee ferry, Chatham county, to the keeper of the work-house, in Savannah, or in Augusta to GEORGE HANDLEY. October 15, 1790.
