Yazoo blues legend Gatemouth Moore will be honored with a Blues Trail marker on Nov. 8.By JAMIE PATTERSON

Performing with some of the greatest musical acts, delivering a personal eulogy from a casket, surviving a historical nightclub fire and being the first blues singer to perform at Carnegie Hall may seem like something out of a movie.
But it was all part of one man’s remarkable life – a life that many can only describe as “dynamic.”
Bishop Arnold Dwight “Gatemouth” Moore will be honored on Monday, Nov. 8., with the 118th historical marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail.

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.
