OF THE
MISSISSIPPI CREOLE.

Is E
The undersigned propose to publish IN the
| town Of Canton, weekly newspap g be call
cd, he glssssssipi Creole. This project has been
suggested By the evident want q this comnu-
nifty Of some medium through which 70 make
known their agricultural and comniercial stan
ding, and to oxpross whatever sentiments they
may entertain in relationto nymoral, political,
of other matters, which may have bearing on
the interests Of the people. II viii hardly be
deemed necessary % enumerate reasons far ma
king this efForttO FILL ayacuum whichnono doubt
o exist. The people Of Madison County want
newspaper, and their known character for
IiberaIify ard warm desireto uphold theirrep-
ntation as an enlig htencd and generous popula-
ton will certainly induce them 10 furnish that
support 10 this undertaking which is necessary
70 it, success. Il IS also unnecessary to say
that no wish to add to their store ofsworldly
goods has had influence with the proposors. A
desire, an honest and laudabIe one, it's hoped
70 acumulale some groaso' has habits weight,
but : small rcfaunera IS expected. Il viii
require liberal patronage FROM the citizens
generally @ keep The Creole going, aud Il Is
earnestly hoped the good people Of Madison
|sw u not withhold that support to al underta-
king which, their own interests seem 70 demand
and every nraa must DO his duty b the Creole
VIII Ian guisb. Nor do we ask nor expect sup
port alone from the people Of Madison Comfy.

It's designed 70 make The Creole generally
useful and entertaining as far as our locality

as soon as hey viii obtain il through other me-
diums possessing the advantage Of more eligible
localities. Allmay however rest assured that
every effort viii be made to aceompis TIL task
