Yazoo County Tax Assessor Beverly Ladner reminds homeowners that March 30 is the deadline to file homestead exemption for 2012.
If you purchased your home and were living in it prior to Jan. 1, 2012 you will need to file homestead. New homeowners are required to bring their Social Security number, if married the spouse’s Social Security number, the purchase price of the home without finance charges and current tag numbers from all vehicles.
Ladner said they must have proof if residents are over 65 or 100 percent disabled. If you are currently filing homestead and had a change in 2011, you will need to re-file for 2012.

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.
