PROSPECTUS.
This will inform the public th; 11 have
commenced and shall continue the pub-
lication of a weekly tournal, called thk
uomk advocate. The first page will
be devoted to local and agricultural in-
terests and general intelligence, the
second to the instruction and enter-
tainment of youth, the Ihlrd to small
children; and the fourth ( and only the
fourth,) to advertising.
Time and observation have taught
us tho necessity of the publication of a
paper of this kind, and the importance
of its being introduced Into and read by
ever}- family throughout the length and
breadth of this whole country ; and as
the people, by their patronage and
ready assistance, have given me so much
encouragement, while struggling to
make permanent my manufactory en-
terprise, I feel that it is but just and
right that I should direct at least a part
of the crumbs thus cast upon the waters
Into a channel that will return them as
mental tood to their l-imlly circles. We
have engaged the services of Rev. F. J.
Patillo, as editor snd publisher for the
first twelve months, feeling assured that
his capacity and experience as a jour-
nalist will enable him to give general
satisfaction. While he has promised to
lose no time and spare nr labor, we
expect to employ all the means necessa-
ry to make the paper indeed an advo-
cate of every household.
The home advocate will be fur-
nished to subscribers at the low price of
one dollar and fifty cents per volume in
specio.
In dosing this prospectus, we most
humbly invoke upon the enterprise the
smiles of Providence and the patronage
of Cbe people.
