"HEREAS am convinced, by late disclosure
w facts, that my negro man NORRAGE, has been
engaged for considerable time past, regular agent
in the commission of more highhanded thefts, than
was first aware Of to the great loss of my neighbors
and MYSELF and as believe the dread of further legal
punishment occasioned hrs elopement on the 10th of
November last; therefore deem it an imperative du-
y to awaken the vigilance of the community at large
and particularly of Sheris, Constabes and Police Of

and that he and his concealed copartners in guilt may

dark twiled domestic cloth He had variety of other
clothing and perhaps supply OF money, the fruits of
his feonious agencies. The marks, however of thir-
ty five stripes but lately inflicted by order of the civil
authority, for atrocaus theft supposed at the time
to be his first and only offence will still show on his
back if examined His sober habits and apparent Fl
