Two Guineas Reward.
RUN away about two months ago, a NEGRO MAN named Jack, belonging to Mr. Philip Smith of the Horse-Shoe, is in Charlestown and seen frequently, and follows his trade of shoemaking; he is rather below the common stature, of the Guinea country, very black, stammers in his speech, is cat-ham'd, affects to dress spruce, and speaks but indifferent English. Any person that secures him in the Sugar-House, by applying to the subscriber, shall receive the above reward. JAMES SKIRVING.
22d February, 1782.
