Readers may recall that Kelley Williams and I have written extensively about all the new Mississippi data centers, especially the huge one in Madison. Our beef is that these data centers will consume more electricity than all the other grid customers combined. Who is going to pay for this?

Below is a political opinion column by Roger Wicker:
U.S. Senator Roger Wicker carries peace through strength message to Europe.
The tyrants in China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are on the move, and their aggression makes at least one thing clear: America needs strong, reliable friends. In February, I traveled to Europe to bring a message to our most important allies. In this increasingly dangerous world, the nations of Europe and North America must stand united.

Life here on the Circle S is mostly the same routine and unchanging from day to day as we take care of the big black cows. We have been operating this cattle farm for over thirty years now and the main excitement is maybe a bull jumping the fence or new calves being born. That is, until yesterday.

I love them!
All kinds! The variety seems endless.
When I was little, I had a swing in a pear tree at Lillie Mae’s house where we lived in an apartment in part of her home. I went out to the tree and looked at it carefully before beginning to swing. I carefully sat on the small wooden plank and grasped the rope sides with my chubby little hands. Then the awesome feeling of flying began as I pushed off and soared up and down and thought my little feet would surely touch the blue sky powdered with white clouds. My heart soared, my grip tightened, and higher and higher I went!

It’s ‘tater planting time. And onions, edible pod and English peas, lettuces, and cabbage, all which grow and produce best this time of year and are harvested in plenty of time to set out tomatoes, peppers, squash, and basil.
I grow most of my veggies in large pots or a small, raised bed, which warms early and is easy to monitor water, fertilizer, and cover if needed during a sudden freeze.

In the Feb. 23 regular meeting of the Carroll County Board of Supervisors, the Board addressed an update on the ongoing restoration work at the Carrollton Courthouse.
“Mrs. Pam [Lee] got this and sent this to me. I think we discussed it in the Carroll County Development Association - it’s just a marker for the 150 years of the courthouse. This is a state historical marker.” Chancery Clerk Casey Carpenter stated.

Heading toward spring of 2026, Daylight Savings Time will begin Sunday, March 8, at 2 a.m. The changing of the season will bring more springlike temperatures and longer days. With Daylight Saving Time, the clocks will “spring forward” one hour. Sunrise and sunset will be about one hour later beginning March 8, bringing longer evening. I have always preferred when Daylight Savings Time begins it feels like the true start of spring. This gives us later daylight hours to enjoy more time outside, to walk, do yard work, attend ball games and enjoy a host of other outdoor activities.

Citizen initiatives are not the topic that will get the most attention among those who watch what the Mississippi Legislature does. Still, the persistent unwillingness to replace the initiative process ruled illegal by the state Supreme Court five years ago makes it clear lawmakers aren’t interested in this issue.
On Feb. 11, the full Senate in a voice vote tabled a concurrent resolution that would have allowed citizens to propose new state laws, or amend or repeal existing ones. The tabled bill missed a deadline for action and died the next day.

In the past, medical research has ignored many health issues important to women. Recently, new research related to women’s health problems has yielded insights into preventive and complementary healthcare for women.
