Newspaper 1819
Transcribed by Christine Fuller 

One hundred dollars reward
Runaway from the subscriber,on the 3rd July 1819,two negros,one man named 
Jacob,about thirty five years old,of yellow complexion,about five feet ten 
inches high,when spoken  to,answers very quick.When he run away from me he 
carried with him one blue coat and pantalooms of common broad cloth,one pair 
ditto of green homespun,double wove,and one new ---hat and one pair of 
boots.The woman named Jude,about fourty years old,little inclined to yellow,of 
a thin visage,thick lips with a brazen look.When she left me she carried off 
two silk frocks,one of them were black,and the other checked,one bonnet,
of a red change --- silk.Jacob is a very sensable,cunning fellow and will try 
to pass as a free person of color.I think it is likely they have procured free 
passes.Jacob will likely pass by the name of John Bell,he can read--Jude will 
pass by the name Violet Horn, as she has procured a pass from a woman by that 
name.I think it most likely they will make for the north.I will give the above 
reward to any person delivering them to me,or securing them in any jail until 
I get there.
