MISSISSIPPI CREOLE.


TnE undersigned propose 10 publish N he
town of Canton, weekly newspaper tobe cali
ed, the Mississippi Creole. This pFoJsei has been
suggested b. the evident want of this eomulu-
nity Of some medium through which to make
known their agricultural and commercial stan
ding, and 10 express whatever sentiments they
may entertain in relationto any moral, political,
or other matters, which may have bearing on
the interests of the people. Il viii hardly BE
deemed necessary TO enumerate reasons for ma
king this effort TO fill vacuum whieh none doubt
to exist. The people of Madison County want
newspaper, and their known character for
liberality and warm desire TO uphold their rep
utation asian enlightened and generous PoPala-
ton will certainly induce them 70 furnish that
support to this undertaking which Is necessary
to its success. II is also unnecessary TO say
that no wish to add to their store OF worldly
goods has had influence with the proposers. A
desire, an honest and laudable one. tits hoped
TO acumuate some grease" has hadifs weight.
but a small remuneration is expected. IL Will
require liberal patronage from the citizens
gencrallpto keep the Creole going, and i =
earnestly hoped the good people OF Madison
will not withhold that support to an undeEta-
/ king which their own interests seem 10 demand

every effort will be made to accomplish the tass
in hand, and if the desire TO do SO should not b.
gratihed it may be attributed to want of abil
ity and not the absence of will That Is, yOJ
