ed, the Mississippi Creole This project has been
suggested by the evident want of this commit

may entertain in relation 10 any moral political,
or other matters, wuich may have bearing on
The interests Of the people. 1t will hardly be
leemed necessar TO enumerate reasons Tor ma
king this effort 10 iill avacuum which.none doubt
to exist The people Of Madison County want
newspaper, and their known character for
iberality and warm desire to uphold their rep
utation as an enlightened and generous PoPula-
non viii certainly induce them TO furnish that
support 10 this undertaking which 10 necessary
to its success. 1t is also unnecessary 10 say
that no wish TO add TO their store OF worldly
goods has had influence with the proposers. 4
desire, an honest and laudable one, it is hoped
to "cumulate some grease'' has habits weight,
but small remuneration is expected. II 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 to an underta-
king which their own interests seem to demand,
and every man must do his duty or the Creole
will languish. Nor DO we ask nor expect sup
port alone from tho people OF Madison County.

from any quarter.

useful and entertaining as far as our locality

the interior of a new state, and issuing only
once week it cannot be expected that news
from distance can be furnished to our citizens

diums possessing the advantage of more eligible
! localities. All may however rest assured thai
every effort will be made TO accomplish the tasE
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 Is, ifyoJ
subscribe freely. a liberal patronage in the way
of advertising viii 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 bu
sparingly and favorable to the present admins
tration with all due respect for the honest opin
ions of opponents.
