PROSPECTUS
OF THE
MISSISSIPPI CREOLE.

The undersigned propose 10 publish IN the
town of Canton, weekly newspaper TO be call
cd, Tie .Mssissippi Creole This project has been
suggested by the evident want Of this comma
nifty of some medium through which 20 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. 1t viii hardly be
deemed necessars to enumerate reasons for ma
king this effort to fll ayacuum which none doubt
TO exist. The people of Madison County want
a newspaper, and their known G araeleF soF
lberality and warm desire 10 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 lis success. II is also unnecessary - say
that no wish to add to their store OF worldly
goods has had influence with the proposers \
desire, an honest and laudabie one, IL Is hoped
to "cumulate some grease'' has habits weight.
but small remuneration is expected. II u Ill
require liberal patronage from the citizens
generally to keep the Creole going. and i Is
earnestly hoped the good people OF Madison
will not withhold that support TO an underia-
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

useful and entertaining far as our locality
and opportunity to Go so will allow. Being III
the interior of new state, and 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 so should not be
grati6ed it may be attributed to want OF abil-
ity and not the absence Of will That il, ifyou
subscribefreely.- A liberal patronage in the way
of advertising will certainly be expected and
actually necessary as an impetus to exertion-
The Creole willindulge but little in politics,
and when such luxury is enjoyed it viii be bat
sparingly and favorable to the present admins
tra.ion with all due respect for the honest opin-
ions of opponents.
Thegeneral news of the day will of course
have prominent place, as viii important polil-
| zeal and moral movements, and such literary
and miscellaneous matter as may be deemed oil
interest to the general reader. Local affairs de-
manding publicity will of course have prece-
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 it is published.
