The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1841-06-26
PROSPECTUS
or The
MISSISSIPPI CREOLE.

TIE undersigned propose % publish in the
town of Canton, weekly tobe call
ed, The Mississippi Creole. This project has been
suggested by the evident want Of this commu-
nifty of some medium through which to make
known their agricultural and commercial stan
ding, and to express whatever sentiments they
may entertain in relation to any moral, political,
or other matters, which may have bearing on
the interests of the people. Il will hardly be
deemed necessary TO enumeTate reasons f0r ma
king this effortto fill avacuum whichnone doubt
to exist. The people Of Madison County want
a newspaper, and their known character Tor
liberalty and warm desire 10 uphold their Yep
utation as an enlightened and generous Popula-
ton will certainly induce them TO furnish that
support to this undertaking which Is necessary
to its success. 1t IS also unnecessary % say
that no wish to add 10 their store Of worldly
goods has had influence with the prop0scF=. \
desire, an honest and laUdabIc one, IL is hoped
to "cumulate some grease" has habits weight,
but small remuneration is expected. Il will
require liberal patronage from the citizens
| generally to keep the Creole going, and il Is
earnestly hoped the good people Of Madison
will not withhold that support TO an uadcria-
king which their owninteresfs seem 70 demand.
and every man must do his duty or the Creole
will languish. Nor do we ask nor expect sup
port alone from the people OF Madison County.
Any subscription Will be thankfully received
from any quarter
1t is designed to make the Creole generally
useful and entertaining as far as our locality
and opportunity TO co SO VIII allow. Being IN
the interior of 4 new state, and issuing only
once a week it cannot be expected that news
from distance can be furnished 70 our citizens
as soon as they viii obtain i, through other me-
diums possessing the advantage of more eligible
localities. All may however rest assured that
every effort will be made to accomplish the task
in hand, and if the desire to do 50 should not b
gratifed it may be attributed 10 a want Of abII-
ity and not the absence Of viii. That l.. ifv0u
subscribe freely. a liberal patronage in the way
of advertising will certainly be expected and
actually necessary as an impetus 70 cxcrtiou-
The Creole will indulge but little IN politics
and when such Iuxuryis enjoyed it viii BE bui
sparlngly and favorable TO the present admins
tration with all due respect for the honest oPin-
ions of opponents.
! The general news of the day viii Of courss
have prominent place, as viii important poIit-
ical and moral movements, and such Etcrary
and miscellaneous matter as may be dsemed OF
interest to the general reader. Local affairs de-
handing publicity will of course have preee-
dence as the paper although intended for gen
eral benefit and patronage is more PARTICULARLY
designed TO uphold the immediate interests Of
| the community among whom II is published.
Our debut will be made as soon as the necessa,
rylabor can be performed, which will be in a vs.
ry few days; those wishing to subscribe vii
hand in their names.
