Special to The Herald
Kristen Eakin, a junior Chemistry and Pre-Med Major at Delta State University from Yazoo City, was recently awarded the Doyce Stallings Mitchell Endowed Scholarship.
She is the first recipient of this scholarship, which will be awarded annual to a community-college transfer student with the highest grade point average on a minimum of 62 hours of academic credit and who also exudes the honorable qualities that were characteristic of Doyce’s life.
The scholarship is also combined with Delta State’s existing Phi Theta Kappa scholarship, which covers the full tuition of a deserving Phi Theta Kappa transfer student from any Mississippi community college.
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.
