Donna Beliech, Area Horticulturist with the Mississippi State Extension Service, conducted a program on “Ornamental Grasses for the Midsouth Landscape” at the Benton Garden Club on Feb. 4.
Hostesses for the meeting were Golda Luse and Patty Barbour.
Festive Mardi Gras decorations adorned the tables.
Members and guests were requested to come dressed with the Mardi Gras theme in mind.
A contest was held for the best dressed for the theme and first and second place prizes were awarded.
A delicious brunch was served.
At the conclusion of the program, prizes were given to approximately a dozen winners of a word game.
It was a very fun-filled and memorable morning.
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.
