RUN AWAY from Augusta, A MUSTEE FELLOW, named HARRY. He is middle aged, and has a halt in his walk from a rheumatick complaint he is subject to. He has carried off with him his wife, named CASSANDRA, a tall slim young black wench. The fellow is very artful and plausible, and both he and his wife are well known about Savannah, though it is supposed they may endeavor to get to the Indian nation, or to Mobile, where the wench's parents and other relations live. Whoever will apprehend them, and deliver them to me at Augusta, or to the Warden of the work-house at Savannah, shall receive 20 s. sterling reward for each, besides all reasonable charges; and if any persons harbour them they may expect to be prosecuted.
