FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD

RAN AWAY from Parkgate, in Prince William county, on Tuesday, March 28th, where Francis Manuel is overseer, negro JACOB, a small man, about 45 years of age; black with rather a yellow tinge, smartly marked in the face with the small pox; he is a timid negro, ahs a down look, and rather a whining voice. His clothing, as far as recollected, was a mixed blue kersey roundabout jacket and twilled cotton and yarn pantaloons, he may have (and it is probable he has) other clothing, as he took off all he had. I will give for him, if taken up within 20 miles and brought home, TEN DOLLARS; if over 20 miles and under 30, THIRTY DOLLARS; but if over 30 miles, and brought home or secured in jail so that I get him again, FIFTY DOLLARS. All persons are forbid at their peril harboring or entertaining said fellow.
