PROSPECTUS
OF THE
MISSISSIPPI CREOLE.

The undersigned propose to publish in the
town of Canton, weekly newspaper to be call
ed, the Mississippi 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
Stertain in relation to any mora, political,
oTktRe% matters, which may have bearing on
tHe interests of the people. 1t will hardly be
deemej Aaecessary to enumerate reasons for ma
king \ - to fill avacuum whichlnone doubt
to Aeople of Madison County want
i'd their known character for
liz ~ warm desire to uphold thsizzesa
u bn Us an enlightened and generous
Ii will certainly induce them to furn
support to this undertaking which is neez
its success. 1t is also unnecessary to say
no wish to add to their store of worldly
has had influence with the proposers. A
IRE, an honest and laudable one, it is hoped
u "cumulate some grease has habits weight,
but 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 to an underta-
kin@ which their own interests seem to demand,
and cry man must do his duty or the Creole
will Aguish Nor do we ask nor expect sup
port al from the people of Madison County.
Any subscription will be thankfully received
from any quarter.
It is designed to make the Creole generally
useful and entertaining as far as our locality
and opportunity to 60 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
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 t a absence of will. That is, ifyou
subscribe frepg. A liberal patronage 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, as will important polit-
ical and moral moyeus0ts, and such literary
