Ran away from the subscriber in July 1779, and is supposed
to be in South Carolina or the back parts of this state, a
Negro man named Hercules, about 27 years of age, short and
remarkably stout, has a large mouth, speaks good English,
and is very fond of making and blowing a pipe in imitation
of a fife;  Whoever takes him up, and delivers him at the
Printing-Office, shall be handsomely rewarded by [signed]
James Johnston.  N.B. If he comes home he will be forgiven.
