$20 Reward.
I WILL give the above reward to any person who will apprehend and safely lodge in jail in the town of Halifax, negro man PETER, who eloped from me about the 24th of March last. Said negro was formerly the property of Mr. James Jones, of this county. I purchased said negro at August Court last, Peter has a wife at Dr. Vaughan's, near Mr. Nickels' store, Scotland Neck, where I expect said negro is lurking about at this time. Said fellow has a dark complexion, is stout well made, and about thirty-five or forty years of age.
