Days before this past Halloween, Aidan Girod received a frightening note atop her water bill: “FINAL NOTICE.” The letter said Girod had three weeks to pay her outstanding balance before JXN Water would turn off her tap.
At the start of the year, the north Jackson waitress received a $2,000 statement that included the several previous months she hadn’t gotten a bill for. As the utility revamps its historically plagued billing system, residents throughout the city have recently received an invoice for the first time in months, if not years.

Yazoo City hit the road last week in their final game before the Christmas Holidays against the Cleveland Central Wildcats.
The Indians coasted to a 68-49 victory while the Lady Indians dropped a close one, 39-30.
The Indians took control of the game early and never trailed after jumping out to a 24-6 first quarter margin. It was smooth sailing from that point as the Indians dominated on both ends of the floor.
