Transcription
RUN AWAY from the subscriber, a mustee young fellow, named Prince, well known in Charles-Town, lately belonging to Mrs. Perkins, a painter by trade, very often undertakes jobs of his own head, both in town and country, and meets with encouragement, altho' I have in the public papers forbid any person employing him, without my license: It is probable he is now in the country, having been met going out of town lately, with a paint pot in his hand. FIVE POUNDS will be given for taking him up, TWENTY POUNDS to any person who will prove, by whom he is employed.
