RICHMOND COUNTY, July 10, 1786. RUN AWAY from the Subscriber some time ago, two Negro men, viz. TOM, a black fellow, well set, a Carpenter by trade; I think he has a scar on his left cheek, and is inclined to a rupture; he had on when he went away, a blue cotton jacket and white cotton breeches, an Oznaburg shirt, he took several other cloaths with him. PAUL, a slim yellow fellow, a little round shouldered, he is apt when spoken to a little sharp, to stammer in his speech, he had a blue cotton jacket, and several other cloaths; they are both very great Rogues, and very artful fellows. Whoever takes up the said Negroes, and conveys them to me in Richmond County, I promise them a reward of FIVE POUNDS for each. JOHN SMITH.
