Yazoo County is under a burn ban.
Outdoor fires are prohibited under a burn ban, including prescribed burns for land management, burning logging debris, trash piles and even camp fires.
The Yazoo County Board of Supervisors enacted the ban Monday due to dangerous conditions. Last month was the driest September in 50 years, and October is expected to be dry as well.

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.
