Twenty Dollars Reward. RAN away from the Subscriber, living within half a mile of Concord, N. Carolina the 19th inst a Negro Man named JOE, but sometimes calls himself JOE SIMON, of a black complexion, 50 years of age, grey head and beard, and about 5 feet 10 inches high. He is an excellent Basket-Maker, and generally follows it wherever he goes. Sometimes he passes for the property of John Jant, of S. Carolina; he is an artful, sagacious fellow, and among negroes talks very loud. He will no doubt pass for a free man. Took with him, a tolerable second hand broad cloth brown coat and striped pantaloons. Any person taking said Negro, and securing him in any gaol, shall receive the above reward, and all reasonable charges paid it brought home. It is supposed he has a gun with him. GEO[George] SMITH October 20 180
