168$15 reward1829-07-23T00:00:00Halifax, N.C. : Halifax MinervaHalifax Minerva, 1829-1830HalifaxHalifaxNC$15 REWARD. RAN AWAY from the subscriber on the 10th of August 1827, a negro man named ARTHUR, about 40 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, dark complexion, thick lips, stammers & has a cancer on the bottom of his right foot. Arthur is a very good shoemaker and quite probably may follow that trade. Being informed, some time since that a negro of such a description was seen lurking in the neighborhood of Scotland Neck. I have no hesitation in saying he has not entirely left the neighborhood. Any person apprehending and delivering said negro to the subscriber, living four miles west of the town of Halifax, near the Warrenton road, or secure him in any jail so that I can get him, will receive the above reward.
