The Benton Garden Club met Saturday, October 1, 2011 at the Benton Methodist Church Fellowship Hall.
Hostesses were Linda Cobb and Donna Luby.
The serving table was adorned with a beautiful pumpkin arrangement which contained bronze and lime mums. Delicious breakfast casseroles were served for the morning brunch, after which the guest speaker Miriam Jabour, a Master Gardner, from Vicksburg, spoke on “Old Garden Plants.”
Mrs. Jabour handed out copies of a pamphlet from Peterson Henderson & Company dated 1909, which provided the names of many original older seeds and plants.
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.
