Timothy “Tim” Sanders Lawrence, 67, of Kosciusko, Mississippi, passed away on Sunday, March 29, 2026. He was born on January 14, 1959, in Jackson, Mississippi.
Tim grew up in the Nile community, where he developed a deep and lasting love for the outdoors. Though life carried him elsewhere, his heart never strayed far from home. He often returned to tend his garden and work the land he loved, finding peace in the simple beauty of nature.

This is our JXN Water experience: We are a relatively small business employing 10–15 people. Our water billing history was relatively consistent with the City of Jackson until 2016 when we experienced the first extended period of not receiving any bills (12 months). From this point going forward inconsistent billing characterized our history with the City of Jackson Water Department. Over 60 percent of our billing was based on “estimated” meter readings. We received only 33 invoices over a 116-month period. Then the highly anticipated takeover by JXN Water occurred.

“It is beyond time that we take affirmative steps to protect our children,” State Rep. Joey Hood (R) said. “These children and these parents don’t have lobbyists. They have us.”
Lawmakers say Mississippi children will be safer on social media after the governor signed a bill into law regulating the platforms.
Under the Mississippi Keeping Kids Safe Online Act, youth visiting social media sites will be required to have parental consent. Platforms that misrepresent safety features can face civil penalties of up to $10,000.

“I cannot confirm or deny that we will be taking legal action against these laws,” said Lydia Grizzell, policy and advocacy manager with ACLU of Mississippi.
Illegal immigration became a hot topic during the 2026 legislative session, with a flurry of bills being introduced, debated, and a few signed into law by the governor.
The bills were mostly backed by Republican lawmakers, although several within the GOP questioned the reason and intent of some of the measures. Democrats, by and large, opposed each bill up for consideration.

Experts estimate that colonoscopy screenings save 30,000 deaths per year. That’s a lot. So this column serves as a reminder to check if you are due.
Two-thirds of older adults get regular colonoscopies. That’s a pretty encouraging statistic. But that leaves one-third at risk. That’s hundreds if not thousands of Mississippians who will needlessly die of colorectal cancer.
Like many Northsiders, I get my colonoscopy at GI Associates. Their facility on Lakeland is a well-oiled machine. I think of it as a colonoscopy factory.
