Description | The Mississippi Lynx (1846) emerged from the journalistic landscape of Panola County, Mississippi, succeeding its predecessors, the Panola Lynx and Panola Miss. Lynx. Under the editorial guidance of William S. Keith and F. Y. Rockett, the paper remained steadfastly aligned with the Whig Party, delivering both political insights and entertainment to its readers. Amidst the backdrop of the banking crisis and the annexation of Texas, the Lynx chronicled local and state Whig organizations, alongside general interest stories, legislative updates, and legal notices. Emphasizing the economic significance of the Tallahatchie River, the paper advocated for its improvement and foresaw the necessity of a railroad for more efficient cotton transportation. Though its lifespan remains shrouded in obscurity, The Mississippi Lynx undoubtedly left its mark on Panola County's journalistic legacy. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1846 of this newspaper. |
