“Sometimes when God closes one door, he opens another one,” Ruth Ferguson said Monday afternoon as she closed the register. “I’m just going to keep praying.”
The door Ferguson’s hoping for is one that leads to a new job. After working at Blockbuster in Yazoo City for a decade, Ferguson learned the store is closing.
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.
