100 Dollars Reward


Ran away from the subscriber on the 30th bit.  A Negro fellow by the name of

SAM;

he is a stout thick-set black fellow, 27 or 28 years of age and about 5 feet 8 
or 10 inches high.  He had with him a yarn homespun jacket a pair of cotton 
homespun trousers dyed black, a pair of blue homespun trousers made with the 
stipes round him, a cotton homespun and a tow linen shirt, with a pair of 
sharp toed shoes—he has very large feet.  I think is it probable that he is 
lurking about Newbern and will endeavor to make his escape on board some 
Northward bound vessel.  He is legally outlawed.  I will give the above reward 
to any person who will kill him or Fifty Dollars if delivered to me or secured 
in gaol, so that I can get him.
    Masters of vessels and all others are hereby forwarned from harbouring, 
employing or carrying away said slave, under the penalty of the law.
