35 Dollars Reward. RANAWAY from the subscriber, on the 5th instant, his negro man, named ELLIS. Ellis is 19 or 20 years of age, 5 feet 6 or 8 inches high, stout, well made, and a little inclined to be bow legged; has very bushy hair, especially before and speaks tolerably quick. He took with him a blue broad cloth coat, about half worn, with gilt buttons, with these words on the under part, 'W. Wallis, treble Orange;' a vest of the same cloth as the coat, with buttons covered with the same; a short jacket and pantaloons filled with wool; a shirt and pantaloons of white northern homespun; a shot gun with full stock, shivered at the muzzle, with the fore thimble off. The gun has the second lock to her; carried also, a new black Hat, rather small for him, with Lafayette's name in it. Is a tolerable shoemaker, carried a shoe knife and some other shoemaker's tools; he can spell a little, and I think will attempt to pass as a free fellow, and in all probability will aim for the non-slave holding states. Ellis was raised in Montgomery county, N.C. by Mr. Wyatt Randall. Any person who will apprehend said negro and bring him to me, two miles above Sneedsborough, Anson county, N.C. shall receive the above reward; or 20 Dollars, if confined in any jail so that I get him. Address the subscriber at Morven Post Office, Anson county, N.C. DANIEL COOK. Cheraw, Nov. 9, 1826.--3t'10.
