NEWBERN, June 27th, 1777.
RUN away from Green Spring, near Newbern, a Negro Fellow named SMART, very black, about 5 Feet 8 Inches high, well made, and very likely, speaks broken English, but very artful and insinuating. He is supposed to be lurking about Slocomb's Creek, with a Fellow belonging to Mr. Almond, and a Gang of Runaways belonging to the late Mr. Clear's Estate. Whoever brings the said Slave to Green Spring, aforesaid, shall have Five Dollars Reward.
JAMES DAVIS.
