The wonderful nip in the air this weekend was a nice change of pace and a great teaser for what’s to come this fall.

The cooler temperatures also made for a more pleasant start to Fall Pilgrimage, which began Friday. We hope our tourists are enjoying the beautiful days.

Plenty of good news filled the community during last week of September. Let’s review a few headlines.

• Five adults graduated from the Adams County Drug Court, committing themselves to a different lifestyle. Congratulations to those who have made it. We are glad the county has a program aimed at drug rehabilitation, and we want these graduates to know that we are ready to hold them accountable.

• Gabby Morace, a student at Vidalia Junior High, has a way with words. The eighth-grader enjoys writing, especially poetry. Writing is an important talent, trust us, and we know Gabby has a bright future.

• The City of Natchez has a shiny, new fire truck ready to serve and protect. We thank all those fire men and women who protect us daily.

• The Edna B. and Joyce Fay Washington Breast Cancer Foundation Inc. hosted a fun event last Sunday, serving tea and finger foods while raising money to fund mammograms for women in need.

As we begin October in earnest, we know good news will continue to come in the Miss-Lou.
