Thanks to an observant fellow church member and a quick search team response, an 86-year-old Yazoo City woman was found safely Monday afternoon.
Nelson Tate notified the Yazoo City Police Department Tuesday that he hadn’t seen the woman since early that morning, noting that it wasn’t like her to leave home alone.
Police Chief Eric Snow says that phone call probably saved her life.

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.
