The annual Make a Difference Day project may have changed locations this year, but the message of love and generosity is still the same.
The 14th annual free flea market has been moved from the home of Mrs. Leola Dillard to the property of George and Mattie K. Washington at 719 East Fifth Street in Yazoo City.
The event will be held on Oct. 23, beginning at 8 a.m.
Mrs. Dillard, a pillar of the Yazoo community, anticipates another successful year with the project. She hopes all volunteers, visitors and other citizens will spend the day making a difference by sharing the spirit of giving and spreading good cheer.

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.
