Thirty Pounds hard Money Reward.
RUN away from the subscribers, living near Ra
coon Ford, Orange county, Virginia, on Sunday
the second of September, three Negro Haves, viz.
George, a dark mulatto fellow, about kventeen years
of age, near or quite fix feet high, has a four down
look ; had on and carried with him a white yarn coat
turned up with blue, one pale blue cloth coat, one
striped Virginia cloth coat, one pair of green cloth
breeches, one pair cotton breeches filled in with
thread :—Harry, a black Negro, about the fame age
of George, a low well set fellow, sprightly and quick
spoken ; had on an old white coat and a new hunting
shirt, and an old maccaroni hat : —Charles, a black
negro fellow, about sixteen years of age, sparer than
Harry, has a very pleasant countenance, and Ipeaks
flow; had on a black hunting Ihirt and an old sot

reason to believe there was a white man wi h them,
who had on a white cloth coat with buttons on each

of his dress we cannot learn. We will give Five
Pounds reward for each or either of them if taken
