 It's been 90 years since a true Saint of Jackson passed away.   Dr. Julius Crisler, loved by many, forgotten by few.  The obituaries describe a life well-lived and a reward well-earned. The Clarion-Ledger eulogized him on September 14, 1935.

"There's more to this world than this. This is not enough.

 Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens issued the following statement. 

Jackson State University apparently filed a grievance against JXN Water with U.S. District Judge Henry Wingate. Two notices popped up in the docket in U.S.A. v. City of Jackson yesterday:

Sunday dinner is a treasured tradition.  ZeroBear PolyBear provided a recipe in downloadable format for such an occasion.  Check out his post for some good ole comfort food: Chicken and dressing.  Enjoy. 

 Former JPD Chief Joseph Wade had a new job. 

 The kids are not all right as their reading scores continues to fall.  The New York Times reported:
