PPOSP ECTTS

FOR A SEMI WEEKLY lNDEPLNDENI
The Editor and proprietor OF this paper
are anxious as Ear as their ability will al
low, not merely 10 do good battle in the
approaching political contest, IN favor Of
tho w!.ig cause, but also to spread before
the public in larger degree than their
columns now afford, literary and scientific
reading and useful Information. The In
dependcnt is intended to be paper such
as the wing party OF North East Mlssl,s-
ippi can have confidence in, and cheerful
" support; while in point of general IN
,elligence, and interest to the planting
community, it strives to be surpassed by
none fits contemporaries.
Tocarry out these wishes, it is proposed
to enlarge the columns ofthe paper, and to
issue it as a sem-wcekIy sheet,--by this
means giving to its subscribers twice the
quantity of reading matter now offered
them. This will entail upon the office a
great amount Of extra labor, besides adj
duional expense for paper, force &c.
The only way to effect this object
without increasing the price Of the paper
j. to obtain large addition to its subscrlP'
ton list. The following proposal is there
fore made: II between the present time
and the fifth day of May next, 25U good
subscribers are added On the books, the
Independent shall be issued as semi
weekly paper, fromthe tenth day OF June
until after the close of the election in No.
vember next, and at lis present terms Of
SO per annum in advance, or 81 il paid a,
the end of the year. The addition OF 25G
new subscr beers would not afford remu
nera,on 70 the extra time and labor CIV
on, and the outlay to be made, but i
would cover the actual additional expense
This secured. those in charge Of its edito
rial and printing departments would be
willing to give in their personal endeav
ors, under the expectation that they wouIt
DO appreciated, and literally sustane,
hereafter. II this should be the case thu
paper would continue TO be issued semi
weekly. In any event however 1t vii
be published semi-weekly for five month
from June 10, if the desired increase o
its subscribers can be made prior to Ma.
9th.
We need hardly say to our viii!
friends, that as lovers of the great caus
for which they have heretofore fought s,
faithfully, and the final triumph of whIcI
seems close at hand. they are directly in
terested in the maintenance OF this paper
and the success of these very liberia
proposals. Every one Of our prescn
readers will by some slight exertlon on hi
part in the way Of recommending TIL
Journal to his friends, be adding greail.
to the amount now spread before him 70
perusal, and without additional expense
There are now in Monroe county alont
sufficient number Of wings to secure thu
object Of this proposal, who can well al
ford to take the paper, who do not nov
subscribe towards lis sustenance.
Will not then our friends personal anc
,ol;,ical. come forward and respond Il
what we deem to be very liberal offer o.
opr mart. and contribute their exertlons Il
enable US to give to the public paper
sueh "a we shall not be satisfied with, un
Ill it ranks with the best and the cheapes
in the State?
The amount OF the present subscrpto
list Of the paper has been laid before Joh
Goodwin and w. p. Rogers Esqrs ,ot'tl
place. Should the required addition TO tn
iist not be made, those so subscribing wi
he at liberty to withdraw their names,
they so choose, on paying for the time the,
have received the paper.
