A Yazoo County resident asked the Board of Supervisors for help in dealing with a property he says has become a health hazard.
Eddie Joe Alias told the board he has been trying without success to get something done about an empty and overgrown home that is next door to a relative off of U.S. Highway 49 near the Jehovah’s Witness Church.
“I went by the Health Department, and I couldn’t get in touch with anyone with any authority,” Alias said. “There are snakes and rats and everything else over there.”

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.
