Twenty Dollars Reward.
RANAWAY from the Subscriber, living in Orange County, N.C. about two weeks ago, a NEGRO MAN named Ephraim. He is about twenty five or six years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, stout built; has a scar on one of his elbows, made by a scythe. His cloaths were, a blue coat and black overalls, with some others not perfectly remembered.-- He is a very artful fellow, and will no doubt procure a false pass and call himself a free man-- He was brought from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where he may probably try to return. He says he has been used to the water.
I forewarn all persons from harboring said Negro, or conveying him away. I will give the above Reward to any person who shall bring him to me, or Ten Dollars if lodged in any Jail, so that I get him again.
ROBERT DIXON.
