The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1841-10-02
PROSPECTUS
OF THE
MISSISSIPPI CREOLE.

The undersigned propose 10 publish in the
town of Canton, weekly newspaper TO be cali
ed, the .NissrssPpi Creole. This project has been
suggested BY the evident want of this eommu-
nifty of some medium through which TO make
known their agric ultural and commercial STAN
ding, and to express whatever sentiments they
may entertain in relation to any moral, political.
or other matters, which may have a bearing on
the interests of the people. 1t will hardly be
deemed necessary to enumerate reasons for ma
king this effort TO fill ayacuum which.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 as an enlightened and generous popula-
ton will certainly induce them TO 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, II is hoped
to "cumulate some grease" has had It's weight,
but small remuneration is expected. Ii will
require a liberal patronage from the citizens
earnestly hoped the good people OF Madison
will not withhold that support to an underta-
king which their owninterests 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, and issuing only
once week 1t cannot be expected that news
from distance can be furnished to our citizens
as soon as they will obtain it through other me-
dlums 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
gratifed it may be attributed to a want of abil-
ity and not the absence of will. That il, ifyou
subscribe freely. A iberalpatronage 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 it viii be but
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 will of course
have prominent place, will important polit-
zeal and moral movements, and such literary
and miscellaneous matter as may be deemed of
interest to the general reader. Local affairs de-
handing 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.
Our debut will be made as soon as the necessa-
ny labor can be performed, which will be in a We
| ry few days; those wishing to subscribe will
hand in their names.
TERMS-The Creole will be printed on a
large imperial sheet with new and beautiful
type, at Five Dollars per annum, inrariabty IN
advance. All advertising and job work CASH.
