The Yazoo Chapter of the Mississippi State Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution recently attended the celebration of the Chakchiuma Chapter’s 100th anniversary. Attending the event, pictured from left, were JoAnne G. Collins, Yazoo Chapter Regent; Janet Looney Whittington, MSSDAR State Regent; and Sue Patterson, Yazoo Chapter Good Citizenship Chairman. The event was held at the Cottonlandia Museum in Greenwood on Oct. 2. Interesting displays showed the 1911 chapter, a 1917 DAR magazine and articles with pictures of past activities.
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.
