TWENTY DOLLARS REWARD. RUNAWAY from the subscriber, living in Rutherford county, near Rutherfordton, N.C. on the 24th of November, 1805, a Negro Man named JIM, about 35 years of age, 6 feet high, yellow complected, good countenance, appears bashful and humble when spoken to, lisps a little; he took off a number of cloathes, viz. a long homespun blue coat, a brown broad cloth coat, somewhat worn, and shoe-boots; he understands shoemaking and coopering, &c. &c. I bought him from a gentleman of Caswell county, where he has a wife and children and it is expected he intends going to them. He rode off a bay horse about six years old, well made, 15 hands high, thin hairs in his forehead in the shape of a star, shod all round and trots natural. Whoever secures the said fellow and horse, and gives me notice, shall receive the above reward and reasonable expences for keeping them, from RICHARD LEWIS Dec. 9
