Vol. XIX, June 4, 1821

Transcribed by Toni Carrier

Ten Dollars Reward

 Ranaway from the Subscriber yesterday morning, his Negro Wench, named Amelia; she was brought from Baltimore to this place by Mr. Woolfolk, and purchased from him by me a few months ago, with her Husband. She is a dark Mulatto, about 5 feet high, full faced and very plausible. Had on when she went away, a blue checked homespun gown; as she took all her clothes with her, she may change her dress; and as most of her friends live in Baltimore, it is supposed she may have taken that rout (sic). The above reward will be given to any person or persons who will lodge her in the work house, or any jail in the state; and Fifty Dollars on conviction of her being harbored by any white person or person of color.

     Masters of vessels and others are warned from taking the said Amelia out of the state, as the law will be rigidly enforced.
