Notice
ABOUT the 1st of May last, a dark brown or black mare mule strayed from my lot 
in this place, and has been heard of since in the neighborhood of 
Avresborough, and I expect is aiming for Halifax, or Person County, where she 
was raised. She is very likely, well made, can see out of but one eye, was cut 
with an axe when very young, a little above the hoof on the right ancle, 
behind, the scar of which is yet to be seen, and causes the hoof to turn out a 
little. Any person delivering such mule, or giving such information as will 
lead to her recovery, either to David Yarbrough Esq. of Hillsborough, 
Nathaniel Norfleet Esq. of Person county, Col. H. G. Burton of Halifax or 
myself, shall be generously rewarded, and all reasonable expenses paid.

Fayetteville, August 1819

WHEREAS the Cape-Fear Navigation Company having made considerable progress in 
improving the river between Fayetteville and Wilmington, by removing logs and 
other obstructions from the channel of the river, and consequently having 
incurred considerable expense – in consideration of which, the stockholders at 
their annual meeting in July last, established agreeably to charter the 
annexed rates of toll upon commodities transported upon the Cape-Fear between 
Fayetteville and Wilmington. All persons whom it may concern will therefore
TAKE NOTICE,
THAT from and after the the 1st October next, the amount of the toll estimated 
at the annexed rates on the cargoes of all Boats, will require to be paid by 
the owner or master to the collector for the Company previous to the departure 
of the boat from the landing at Fayetteville, or previous to arrival at 
Fayetteville.  To facilitate which it will be necessary for the shipper or 
owner to keep a correct list of freight when taken on board – a true 
transcript of which must be delivered to the Collector – otherwise the boat 
will be subject to detention until the cargo can be examined.  The following 
clause of the charter will be enforced against all boats that pass without 
paying the toll, (to wit:) And if any vessel shall pass without paying the 
tolls, then the said collector respectively, may, lawfully seize such boat or 
vessel and sell the same at auction for real y money, after advertising the 
sale at least ten days; the money arising from which sale as far is necessary, 
shall be applied towards paying the said tolls and all expenses of seizure and 
sale, and the balance if any shall be paid to the owner; and the person having 
direction of such vessel shall be liable for said tolls if not paid by sale 
aforesaid.
