EOf EnIaFgtng and Extending the
Circulation
OF THE
XAZOO CITY WHIG.

-
AT the solicitation of MANY Of
our friends, and a desire on our
! part TO make our papera useful me-
dlum OF communication to the pub
lie generally, we have determined
to ENLAGE AND OTHERWISE IMPROVE
THE APPEARANCE OF THE"YAZOO
CITY WHIG," so as to make il
more worthy of a general circula-
ton among the people Of the inter
|ior.-Yazoo City is the trading and
shipping point Of a large, rich, and
pOpulous section ofcountry, and the
facilities afforded at this point for
collecting the latestevents that trans
Ipire in the political and commercial
world, hold out inducements, for
the public to sustain a journal at
this place devoted to the advance
ment of its interests.
We have labored faithfully.
through evil report, and through
good 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 a family
and, here we expect to end the bal
ance of our DAYS.
To effect the improvements
contemplated in the Wn1G, we shall
necessarily be compelled 10 incur
considerable extra expeni e,
to enable US to do this, we have
issued this PROSPECTUS, with the
view to add additional suhcccrihors
to our list. -'herr
We have determined tn make
the WING worthy of lii
generous support and, we now
call upon our friends to use theirin-
1uence and aid to accomplish this
object. Two or three hundred az
ditiOnal subscribers, and more Ex-
TENDED patronage from our adver-
Using friends will be all-suficient:
Our arrangements are such, that
we can confidently assure our pat
rons that they shall not be disap-
pointed in their expectations,-tho
Wine shall not be inferior to any
OF Its contemporaries, in the QUAIL
ITY and QUANTITY of reading mat
ter it contains, or in the BEAUTY
and ACCURACY Of It's MECHANICAL
EXECUTION. We have engaged
the services Of several gentlemen.
Ieminently qualified, to be regular
contributors to its columns-we
have, also, engaged the services of
several commercial gentlemen, of
New Orleans, to furnish us with
ACCURATE reports of the markets.
as well as all other matters which
will be of interest to the up-countrv
reader. The local department of
the paper, we shall take under our
Town exclusive control, and every
incident that transpires which can
impart interest, shall have a hear
ing through the columns of the
Vino. In short, we intend to make
the Vine valuable nesoSpaper 10
all classes of readers.
