The Benton Garden Club met at the Benton Methodist Church on Saturday, March 3, 2012.
Jean Saja, a Master Gardener who lives in Raymond, presented a program on butterfly gardens. Mrs. Saja was certified as a Master Gardener in South Carolina from Clemson University Extension Service in 2000.
The hostesses for March were Michie McGraw, Maudine Trammell and Paulette Davis.
Beautiful salad plates were served, along with a delightful dessert.
The tables were decorated with bright and beautiful potted plants. The white table cloths were displayed with colorful napkins tied with playful butterfly suckers, secured with burlap string.
All of the details helped to create a spring-like atmosphere in the room.
At the conclusion of the program a door prize was awarded to the person having the winning number.
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.
