A Man Missing!!!
I EFT the subscribers house, suddenly,
A on the 2d Inst, a gentleman who
said hi* name was tredrick Baldwin.
He professes to be, or to have been, a
Lawyer. Said Baldwin is about five feet
eight or ten inches high; about forty years
of age; red complected, red hair, which
he wore long behind, ami bald on the back
part of his head. I understand he has a
family in Gwinnett or Franklin countv,
Geo. and I presume they would be glad
to hear where he is.
Should he not be lost, I hereby notify
all Tavern Keepers to be on their guard
against his impositions, as he went off
from this place in a hurry, without pay
ing his bill, which I am informed is not the
first act of the kind.
j He is a man fond of talking, wears a
small black hat, a blue frock coat, pretty
much worn.
