The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1841-12-04
PROSPECTUS
OF THE
MISSISSIPPI CREOLE.

THE undersigned propose to publish IN the
tt wn of Canton, weekly newspaper obe call
ed, the Missasstppi 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 relation to 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 avacuum 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
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. 1t will
require liberal patronage from the citizens
generally to keep the Creole going, and it is
earnestly hoped the good people OF Madison
will not withhold that support 10 an underta-
| king which their owninterests seem to demand,
and every man must dorhis 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 Go SO will allow. Being in
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
1 localities. All may however rest assured thai
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 a want of abil
ity and not the absence of will. That ie, nyor
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 Blu
sparingly and favorableto the present admins
tration with all due respect for the honest opin
ions of opponents.
The general news of the day will of cours
have prominent place, as will important polit
ical and moral movements, and such literar
and miscellaneous matter as maybe deemed 0
interest to the generaIreader. Local affairs de
handing publicity will of course have prece
+ dence as the paper although intended for gen
eral benefit and patronage is more paticularl
: designed to uphold the Immediate interests 0
the community among whomit is published.
! Our debut will be made as soon as the necessa
ry labor can be performed, which will be in a We
ry few days; those wishing to subscribe vii
hand in their names.
TERMS-The Creole will be printed on
t large imperial sheet with new and beautifu
!, type, at Five Dollars per annun., invariably i
advance. All advertising and Job work Cash
