RUN away from Fighting creek, the first of September , a Negro man, named JACOB, by trade a shoe-maker; he stole at the same time an old black horse, with a star in his forehead, brand unknown. The fellow walks with his breech near the ground, by a hurt in both his knees; he has a smooth tongue, and will endeavour to pass for a freeman. I suppose he is made for Carolina . Whoever will bring the said fellow and horse to me, on Fighting creek, or to Thomas Hamlet , at Long-Island , in Bedford county, shall have 40 s. reward; if taken out of Virginia 5l. besides what he law allows.
RICHARD EGGLESTON .
