PROSPECTUS.
This will Inform the public thnt 1 have
commenced and shall continue the pub-
lication of a weekly journal, called the
home 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 third to small
children; and the fourth ( and only the
fourth,) to advertising.
Time and observation have taught
us the necessity of the pnbllcation of a
paper of tills kind, and the importance
of its being Introduced into and red by
every 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 shonld direct at least a part
of the crumbs thus cast upon the waters
into a channel that will return them as
mental (ood to their family circles. We
have engaged the services of Rev. F. J.
Patillo, as editor and 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 no 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
specie.
In closing this prospectus, we most
humbly invoke upon the enterprise the
smiles of Providence and the patronage
of the people.

Ave ought to be to God forjhis goodness to
us. But remember God's commands
must be obeyed. Life is uncertain, and
death must come. Then haste to Boyd's
