RAN away from Mr. Brewton's plantation near Savannah, belinging to Richard Oswald, Esq. The following Negroes. PHILIP, a young middle sized fellow, very stout made, speaks bad English. TITO, a young middle sized fellow, appears very stupid, and is ruptured. GEORGE, a slender made fellow, almost grey headed, very sensible, speaks good English, and is much pitted with the smallpox. BOSTON, a sawyer, pretty old, of a slender make, is very sensible, and formerly belonged to a Mr. M'Pherson in Carolina. Whoever apprehends, and delivers them to me upon the plantation, or to John Graham, Esq. in Savannah will receive a reward of five dollarsfor each. JAMES NIX, Overseer.
