Even though he can’t swim, Daniel Harris didn’t think twice about jumping in to save his mother, Gloria Harris, when she fell into the water while fishing last Thursday.By JASON PATTERSON

It was windy Thursday afternoon, but otherwise it was a perfect day to go fishing.
Gloria Harris had the day off, so she and her son Daniel decided to go see if the perch were biting. They bought some minnows and drove over to a favorite spot, the lake on Miss. Highway 3 that most Yazooans know as “the welfare hole.”
While they were fishing, Gloria kept noticing a bobber floating in the water. It looked as good as new, and she was able to bring it right up to the edge of the bank using a stick.

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.
