The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1841-10-09
PROSPECTUS
OF The
MISSISSIPPI CREOLE.


The undersigned propose TO publish in the
town of Canton, weekly newspaper to be cali
ed, the Manuscripts Creole. This project has been
suggested BY the evident want Of this eommu-
nifty of some medium through which 10 make
known their agric ultural and commercial stan
ding, and 10 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. i viii hardly be
deemed necessary to enumerate reasons for ma
king this effort TO FIJI ayacuum which none doubt
to exist The people of Madison County want
a newspaper, and their known character for
Hberality and warm desire to uphold their rep
u;aton as an enlightened and generous poPula-
ton viii certainly induce them TO furnish that
support to this undertaking which Is necessary
to It's success. Il is also unnecessary 20 say
that no wish to add TO their store Of worldly
goods has had influence with the prop0seFs- \
desire. an honest and Iaudable one, il : hoped
to "cumulate some greaser has hadits weight.
but small remuneration Is expected. Il viii
require liberal patronage from the citizens
generally to keep the Creole going, and II Is
earnestly hoped the good people Of Madison
will not withhold that support TO an underta-
king which their own interests seem 10 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 will allow. Being in
the interior of new state, ana issuing only
once week it cannot be expected that news
from distance can be furnished TO our citizens
as soon as they will obtain it 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 be
gratihed it may be attributed to a want Of abil-
ity and not the absence of viii. That is, ifyou
subscribe freely. A liberal patronage in the way
of advertising will certainly be expected and
actually necessary as an impetus to exertiOn-
The Creole will indulge but little in politics,
and when such luxuryis enjoyed il viii be bur
sParingly 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 course
have prominent place, as will important polt-
zeal and moral movements, and such literary
and miscellaneous matter as NAV be deemed Of
interest to the general reader. Local affairs de-
handing publicity viii of course have preee-
dence as the paper although intended for gen
erai oeneht and patronage Is more PARTICULARLY
designed TO uphold the immediate interests Of
the community among whom il is published.

ryIabor can be performed, which will be in = We
Try few days; those wishing TO subscribe VIII
hand in their names.
