Many thought they were back in the old West when they noticed Gene Glasscock passing through Yazoo last week with his mule-driven wagon.
The 77-year-old Texas native passed through Yazoo County over the weekend on his journey across the country with two mules and an old fashioned home on wheels.
Glasscock travels about ten to 15 miles a day and anticipates on ending his journey in Georgia. His goal...to spread the gospel along the way.
Glasscock called Yazoo his home over the weekend, staying at the Yazoo County Fairgrounds.
There are many signatures, phrases and other writings on his wagon from his many stops during his odyssey. Although the rain may wash them off from time to time, it doesn’t take long to understand how many people he has touched with his mission.

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.
