The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1841-11-06
PROSPECTUS
or THE
MISSISSIPPI CREOLE.

THE undersigned propose to publish IN the
town of Canton, a weekly newspaper 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 relationto any moral, political,
or other matters, which may have bearing on
the interests of the people. 1t will hardly be
deemed necessary to enumerate reasons for ma
king this effort to fill vacuum whichInone doubt
to exist. The people of Madison County want
a newspaper, and their known character for
hberality and a warm desire to uphold their rep
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 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, it is hoped
to "cumulate some grease' has habits weight,
but a small remuneration is expected. It will
require a~lberal patronage from the citizens
| generally to keep the Creole going, and 1t is
earnestly hoped the good people OF Madison
will not withhold that support to underta-
king which their own interests seem to demand.
and every man must do his duty or the Creole
will anguish 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 new state, and issuing only
t 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 so should not bC
grained 1t may be attributed to a want of abil-
lty and not the absence of will. That is, ifyor
subscribe freely. A liberal patronage in the way
of advertising will certainly be expected anC
! actually necessary as an impetus to exertion.
The Creole will indulge but little in politics
and when such luxuryis enjoyed it will be bu
sparingly and favorable to the present admins
tration with all due respect for the honest opln
> ions of opponents.
