The Benton Garden Club met on Saturday, December 3, 2011 at the Benton Methodist Church Fellowship Hall.
The meeting was called to order by the club president, Gigi Mathews. A brief business session was held to discuss the success of the club bake sale that was held the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Our visitors were welcomed and invited to join us again.
Each one had been requested to bring a plant from their yard if possible for exchange at the conclusion of the Christmas celebration, as well as hors d'oeuvres to contribute to the brunch.
The attractively decorated table was laden with Christmas goodies for all to enjoy. We were invited to join the hostesses in an adjoining room which had been prepared with white table linens adorned with red poinsettias, festive candles and Christmas music.
At the conclusion a plant exchange was held and door prizes were awarded.
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.
