From the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Yazoo Chapter, packages from home were mailed on Oct. 9 in time for Christmas in the far corners of Afghanistan.
In return, MCC F. Julian Carroll, a chief petty officer in the Naval Reserve stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan, responded with a flag in honor of the Yazoo Chapter flown over the post where he and his fellow servicemen were stationed.
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.
