Below is a political opinion column by David McRae:
Fair access to banking is not a partisan issue. It is a matter of economic freedom, and that is something worth protecting—in Washington and Jackson alike.
Access to fair banking isn’t a luxury, it’s the price of entry in the modern economy. Whether you’re a small business owner, a nonprofit, a farmer, or simply a working family, you cannot function without fair, reliable access to financial services. That’s why the Fair Banking Standard Act is so important.

The event is the culmination of a month-long exhibit by the Chimneyville Weavers and Spinners Guild. The organization is celebrating 45 years.
The next time you wrap in a cozy woolen scarf or shawl, consider where the wool came from. It’s easy to get a clear picture when you begin with the source of that soft, warm wool. Visitors to the Waller Craft Center on March 28 can experience the excitement of seeing a sheep being shorn, then watch as talented craftsmen spin and weave the wool into a beautiful and functional piece of heirloom quality.

The calendar has not quite pronounced spring on us — the official first day is March 20 — but Mother Nature is warming up to the idea.
Recent daytime highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s have awakened a sleeping giant — the local farm sector — and that genie will not be put back into the bottle.

In the April 12, 1900, edition of The Democratic Herald, published in Charleston, is a Page 1 story about “The Tallahatchie Bill,” a law soon dividing the county into two judicial districts, as passed by the Mississippi Legislature.
The law designated the establishment of two circuit and chancery court districts for the county — to be called the First and Second districts — thus creating the dual county seats we have today.
At the time, Charleston (population 480) was the only county seat for Tallahatchie's 19,600 residents and 651 square miles of territory.

You couldn’t tell from the outside.
But when the huge tree fell on Gary’s tractor, Drew’s truck, the chicken yard fence and two chicken houses with enclosures inside the fencing — it was obvious.
The tree that fell had long ago split and had grown up with a two-pronged trunk, thick and seemingly strong. That tree stood through many storms, heavy rains, ice and probably lots of high winds. There didn’t seem to be any danger in it falling.
