suggested By the evident want of this commu-

known their agricultural and commercial stan

may entertain in relation to any moral, political,
or other matters, which may have bearing on
the interests of the people. 1t will hardly be
deemed necesssrg TO enumerate reasons for ma
king this effort TO fill avacuum which none doubt
TO exist. The people of Madison County want
a newspaper, and their known character for
liberality and warm desire to uphold their rep
utation an enlightened and generous popula-

supper, 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

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
gratified it may be attributed to want of abil-
ity and not the absence of will. That is, ifyou

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 luxury is enjoyed it will be but
sparingly and favorable to the present admins

ions of opponents.

have prominent place, as will important polit.
