Caption: $600 Reward
Additional Description: Ran away from the subscriber, on Saturday night last, two Negro Men, called Denard Hughes and Tom Elliot.
        Denard is a very likely man, of dark chestnut color, stout built, with black whiskers; aged about 30 years; had on when he left a white hat with broad black band; his clothing is not recollected.
        Tom is of ordinary size, about five feet six inches high, of dark chestnut color, aged about 24 years; his clothing is not recollected. They both have a rather down look when spoken to.
        Tom has an uncle near Wilmington, called Moses Pinket.
        The above reward will be given for these Negroes if taken out of the county, or $100 for either if taken in the county. In either case they are to be lodged in the Cambridge jail, so that I get them again. Pritchet Meridith
