Satartia and Holly Bluff could lose their post offices as the U.S. Postal Service considers major cutbacks.
Challenged by competition from e-mail and from private companies like Federal Express and United Parcel Service, the U.S. Postal Service is facing major challeges. It is further burdened by a loss of advertising mail from the recession and a requirement to pay $5.5 billion a year toward future health benefits for retired employees. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
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.
