Being honest and truthful may not be rewarded with total satisfaction, but in one Yazoo County female’s case, it has earned the respect of many Yazoo County officials.
Edwina Fox of 230 S. Monroe St. appeared Monday before the Yazoo County Board of Supervisors to discuss a concern she had about her Homestead Exemption status. As she presented her case to the supervisors, she didn’t hesitate saying on several occasions that there was a possibility that the problem in receiving correspondence from the county regarding her taxes lay with her.

Doris Campbell has opened her home up to hundreds of guests, many with big names like Oprah, Sonny and Cher.
Oprah’s best friend, Gayle, even moved in with the Campbell family after her short stay tugged at a few heartstrings.
But don’t get those autograph books ready because all of Doris’ four-legged guests are treated like celebrities at the Campbell homestead.
“I give them all nicknames so I can remember them better,” Doris said, rubbing the head of eager dog. “I had four at one time that I had to name Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel.”
Doris, who lives in the Nod community, has transformed her property into a safe haven for animals. Working with the Community Animal Rescue and Adoption Inc., a no-kill animal shelter in Clinton, she serves as a foster shelter for many animals who are waiting to be adopted.
A former barn has been remodeled into a hospital area where many abused and injured animals are treated. A few arrive from concerned neighbors and friends, but many are brought by Doris herself from Dumpsters and other places.
Known as Campbell Junction, Doris and her husband Billy have opened their home and hearts to hundreds of animals.

Congregants who gathered Sunday afternoon at St. Mary’s Catholic Church for Pray Yazoo heard a minister say that churches have become less powerful because they’re doing things the world’s way; not God’s way.
“People are coming to church, worshipping, and they’re never turning from their ways to God’s ways,” said the Rev. Bill Poole, pastor of First United Methodist Church. “In the church today, much is taking place in which the people come, we worship, we do the things (of worship), but we do not turn away from the ways of the world. In the end, that brings the world into the church rather than carrying the church into the world.”
