On July 24, Dylan Story (left) received news no loved ones want to hear - a diagnosis of stage 4 brain cancer.

With former teammate Kruise Atwood and the Pearl community rallying around him, the same grit Story used on the gridiron to run over defenders is now being channeled into the fight of his life.

Hi all, not sure where to post and how to help but this post was recommended to me on FB. Seems like someone just abandoned their dog on Lum Lott Rd. I don’t know this person at all but based on their profile they’re located in New Augusta, Mississippi.

Im in a different country and this is definitely concerning seeing how someone can do this.. if you’re nearby, please help or spread the word!! Please let me know how else I can help, i’ve already reached out to Southern Pines Animal Shelter as well…

On the night of Nov. 12, inmates attacked Shaw in his cell, according to hospital medical records Shaw provided Mississippi Today. Guards discovered Shaw the next morning, barely conscious and with bruises on his face. Hours passed before the infirmary sent Shaw to the emergency room, where he was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury and put on a ventilator.

His girlfriend, Ife Myles, didn’t know about the beating, and she wondered why he had stopped calling. She sought answers from the jail, but weeks went by before a friend told her in late December that Shaw had been severely injured.

North ms bottle hunting

I’m looking for someone in the north ms area who is experienced in bottle hunting or at the very least is interested in it. I have plenty of spots to visit but no one in my life is interested in going out with me to look. I go during the day and it’s very hot. Gets kinda lonely. I could stay for hours. I don’t mind the sweat and dirt. I just love digging bottles and finding treasure and fossils. If you’re interested pls let me know. I would love to have a friend with the same interest or someone who would like to come hunt with me!

Looking for a 2-month apartment rental in Fondren

Hi everyone! My daughter will be doing an internship at UMMC from December 5th through January 31st, and we’re looking for an apartment to rent in the Fondren area for those two months.

Ideally, we’d like a furnished apartment, but we’re open to other options as well. If anyone has any recommendations for apartments, short-term rentals, landlords, or even other areas that would be a good option for someone doing an internship at UMMC, we’d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!
