$20 REWARD. WILL be given for the apprehension of, and securing in any jail, so that I get him again, my negro man JOHN, who ran away from my plantation on the 23d May last past. He is about 24 years old, 5 feet 4 inches high, well built, of a black complexion, red eyes, speaks slow and drawls out his words, and both his little Toes are unusually short, and he has a scare[sic], occasioned by a burn, on one of his cheeks (the left I believe) I purchased John of Col. Thos.[Thomas] Cox, of Scotland Neck, Halifax county, where he has relations, and also a mother at Mr. Weldon N. Edwards's in Warren county. About two years ago, John ran away and got as far as City Point, Virginia, and secreted himself on board of a Vessel. It is possible he may aim for the same place again. THOMAS BURGES. Halifax N.C.
