Woody and Mary Humphries have discovered the secret to a successful marriage.
“Every time we had an argument, I always got the last word,” Woody said with a grin. “My last words were always, ‘yes, ma’am.’”
The two laugh at each other as if they were newlyweds. Perhaps laughter is the secret to a happy and fulfilling marriage because the two will celebrate 70 years together next week.
“The Lord has blessed us with so many years,” Mary said. “We have been and are doing great.”
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.
