Special to The Herald
The monthly meeting of the Lintonia Garden Club was held March 23 at the Mississippi Chemical Plant Annex of the Ricks Memorial Library with special speaker, Nancy Speed.
Speed lives in Yazoo County. She has been raising exotic birds since 1992. She was able to share slides of many types and colors of birds. There are approximately 250 birds that she is responsible for, maintaining clean cages, purchasing and selling, etc.
Speed talked about breeding exotic birds and using them as pets. A discussion followed the informative presentation. Ruby Gilliam and Elouise Upchurch served as hostesses.
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
