Transcription
RAN away the 15th of March last, and is supposed to be harboured in or about Charles-Town, where he is very well known, a small limb'd Angola negro man, about 40 years old, five feet high, named TONY , and formerly belonged to Mrs. Bedon: He is a gardener, fisherman and net maker. Whoever delivers him to me on col. Singleton's plantation at Store, or into the work-house at Charles Town, shall have ten pounds reward, and all reasonable charges.

JEREMIAH COLLINS.
