RUN away from Ninety-six, on the 5th of this inst. November, two very likely dark mulatto
slaves, the property of the subscriber viz. PETER and JOE; they are brothers, and both of them
are shoe-makers, tanners, sawyers and jobbing carpenters: they are remarkably sensible, and speak
good English. Peter is a well set fellow, of a yellow complexion, and has a scar over one of his
eye-brows, and has lost one of his toes; he had upon him when he run away, a country made cloth
coat, a check shirt, leather breeches, and white negro cloth boots. Joe has a large scar on one side,
occasioned by the stab of a knife, and is somewhat longer than Peter, and somewhat darker; he
had upon him when he went away, a green coat: they took with them two black horses belonging
to the subscriber, and it is apprehended they will indeavour to get to Augustine. Whoever
apprehends the said two fellows, and delivers them to me in Amelia township, or to William
Simpson, Esq; in Charles-Town, or to the warden of the work-house, shall be paid a reward of One
hundred and fifty pounds currency by,
WILLIAM KILLINGSWORTH.
