Old News From Anson County 1820
July 14, 1820, STAR (Raleigh, N.C.)
-Ten Dollard Reward.  RANAWAY from the subscriber living one within one mile 
of Wadesboro' Anson county, on the 4th day of this month (June) my Negro Man, 
WILLIS, about 22 years of age, 5 feet, 9 or 10 inches high, dark complexion.  
Willis is a very stout, likely, sensible fellow, will probably attempt to pass 
himself for a freeman; he wore away a blue cloth coat, green pantaloons, and 
fur hat; he was raised in Norfolk, Virginia by a Mr. SHARP, where I expect he 
will try to get; he can read and write his name, has some knowledge of 
figures, beats the drum and plays the fife.  The above reward will be paid to 
any person who will deliver the said Negro to me, or secure him in any jail in 
the state so that I get him again.  
Wadesborough June 18.                   ARCHIBALD SMITH
