AT the solicitation Ofmany Of
our friends, and q desire on our
part to make our papera useful me-
ldium accommodation to the pub
lie generally, we have determined
Ito ENLAGE AND OTHERWISE IMPROVE
THE APPEARANCE OF THE s Y AGO
CITY WHIG," so as to make it
more worthy of a general circula-
ltion among the people Of the inter
Iior.-Yazoo City is the trading and
shipping point Of a large, rich, and
popuIous section of country, and the
facilities afforded at this point for
collecting the latestevents that trans
lpire in the political and commercial
world, hold out inducements, for
the public to sustain a journal at
this place.devoted to the advance
lment of its interests.
We have labored faithfully,
Through evil report, and through
lgood report for the last ten years
in publishing a paper in Yazoo
City and, during that whole period,
what patronage we have received,
was voluntarily and generously
rendered, without an effort on our
part to obtain it. Our interests are
identified with those of Yazoo City
here we have reared family
:. and, here we expect to end the bal
: ance Of our days.
/ To effect the improvements
: contemplated in the Vino, we shall
necessarily be compelled to incur
e considerable extra expense and,
to enable us to do this, we have
% issued this PROSPECTUS, with the
5, view to add additional subscribers
a to our list.
al We have determined to make
o. o. the Vine worthy of liberal and
generous support: and, we now
call upon our friends to use their in
sy fuence and aid to accomplish this
,eg object. Two or three hundred adj
on ditional subscribers, and more Ex-
ENnED patronage from our adVer-
Using friends will be aII-sufficient.
;. Our arrangements are such, that
re- we can confidently assure our pat
Ire rons that they shall not be disap-
pointed in their apprenticeship
y y VINO shall not be inferior to any
re of its contemporaries, in the quail
w ITY and QUANTITY of reading mat
Sc ter it contains, or in the BEAUTY
C. and ACCURACY of its MECHANICAL
Sc EXECUTION. We have engaged
the services of several gentlemen,
eminently qualified, to be regular
contributors to its columns-we
