town of Canton, weekly newspaper be CALI
ed, he Mississippi Creole. This project has been
suggested BY the evident want Of this eommu-
nifty Of some medium through which to make
known th-ir agric ultural and commercial star
ding, and to express whatever sentiments they
may entertain in relation to any moral, political,
or other matters, which NAV have bearing on
the interests Of the people. It viii hardly be
deemed necessars TO enumerate reasons for ma
king this efioTtto fill avacuum whieh none doubt
to exist. The people of Madison County want
a newspaper, and their known character for
Iiberality and warm desire to uphold their rep
utation as an enlightened and generous popuia-
ton will certainly induce them to furnish that
support 10 this undertaking which is necessary
to its success 1t is also unnecessary TO say
that no wish to add to their s;oTe OF worldly
goods has had influence with the proposors. \

diums possessing the advantage of more eligible
localities. All may however rest assured that
every effort viii 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 the absence of will That's, ifyou
