our friends, and a desire on our
part to make our papera useful me-
dunn of communication to the pub.
lie generally, we have determined
to ENLAGE AND OTHERWISE IMPROVE
THE APPEARANCE OF THE YAZOO
CITY WEIG," so as to make it
moro 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
popuIous section of country, and the
facilities afforded at this point for
collecting the latestevents that trans
pire in the political and commercial
world, hold out inducements, for
the public to sustain 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 Vine, we shall
necessarily be compelled to ineuRs
considerable extra expense and,
to enable us to do this, we have
issued this PROSPECTUS, with the
view to add additional subscribers
to our list.
We have determined to make
the WHIG worthy of a liberal and
generous support and, we now
calIupon our friends to use theiFin-
lfiuence and aid to accomplish this
object. Two or three hundred adj
ditiOnal subscribers, and a more Ex-
TENDED patronage from our adver-
, Using friends will be aIl-suficient.
Our arrangements are such, that
we can confidently assure our pat
rons that they shall not be disap-
tpointed in their expectations,-the
Vine shall not be inferior to any
:, of its contemporaries, in the QUAIL
d ITY and QUANTITY of reading mat
s ter it contains, or in the BEAUTY
2 and ACCURACY of its MECHANICAL
EXECUTION. Every incident that
transpires which can impart inter-
est, shall have hearing through
the columnsof the WING. In short.
we intend to make the WING a val
liable 9se00SpGpeT' to all classes of
