MISSISSIPPI CREOLE.


The undersigned propose to publish in the
town of Canton, weekly newspaper to be CALI
ed, The .uisns1ppi Creoie 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 entert ain in relation to any moral, political,
or other m alters, which may have bearing on
the interests of the people. II will hardly be
deemed necessars 10 enumerate reasons for ma.
king this effort TO Ill vacuum whichnone douh'
to exist. The people of Madison County wan
a newspaper, and their known character 10
liberality and warm desire to uphold theirreI =
utation as an heightened and generous popuI A.
ton viii certainly induce them to furnish tn 4 /
support to this undertaking which IS necessa ~
to its success. Ii is also unnecessary to 81 ~
that no wish to add TO their store Of world l'V
goods has had influence with the proposers "A
desire, an no uest and laudable one, it is hop
TO '"cumulate some greasen has habits weig' {,
but small remuneration is expected. 1t " ! II
require liberal patronage from the ciul ems
generally to keep the Creole going, and - Is
earnestly hoped the good people OF Ma, lison
will not withhold that support TO an unt ierta-
king which their owninterests seem to del nand,
and every man must do his duty or the Creole
will languish. Nor do We ask nor expe ct sup
port alone from the people OF Madison { Jountv..
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 issrIing only
once week it cannot be expected that news
from distance can be furnished to 0ur citizens
as soon as they will obtain it through other me-
diums possessing the advantage of m re eligible
localities. All may however rest ssured that
every effort will be made to accomE ,l4sh the task
in hand, and if the desire to do so h ould not be
gratifed it may be attributed to want of abiI-
ity and not the absence of will. That is, ifvou
subscribe freely. A liberal patronage in the way
OF advertising viii 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 will be but
sParingly and favorable to the present adminis4
tration with all due respect for the honest opin-
ions of opponents
The general news of the day will of course
have prominent place, as will important polit-
ical 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 spublished.
Our debut will be made as soon as the necessa-
rylabor can eperformed, which will be in a We
ny 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, Invariably in
Advance. All advertising and Job work CASH
