  • An Early History of Simpson County, Mississippi by Bee King
    An Early History of Simpson County, Mississippi by Bee King Compiled by Frances B. Krechel AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED TO: Mrs. L. H. Holyfield (Beulah Boggan) (Electronic version prepared by NP Computers for Mendenhall Public Library, Lu Ann Bailey Librarian) Due to her life-long (b. 1893) interest, and being a native Mississippian, Miss Beulah has gathered together many historical articles and books, and it is basically from this remarkable and vast collection that the enclosed material has been taken, her love of Mississippi history proved to be contagious. So it is with deep appreciation and a sincere “Thank You” for the special help and encouragement, that another chapter has been added to the extensive recording of the state’s heritage. Miss Beulah has also meticulously and lovingly chronicled the names and dates of her Boggan and related families and it is through this mutual family connection that the compiler became interested in the events concerning the early days. All of the stories have been selected from a series of articles written by the late Bee King, who was a well- known lawyer, historian and writer. The Simpson County News began running the series in their weekly newspaper in 1937 and continued until 1948. Mr. King’s writings are a graphic presentation of the life and times of early Simpson County. He interviewed the elderly citizens through out the area and uniquely recorded for posterity the experiences of the people in day to day living. The picture shows Mr. King in his office when he was Mayor of Mendenhall, the county seat of Simpson County.

  • About Overcalling
    All About Overcalling It is annoying when the opponents open the bidding in front of you, but that doesn’t mean to say that you are constrained to pass for ever. In fact there are quite of number of reasons why it would be right and proper for you to enter the bidding and these can be classified as follows: 1) Because you have a good hand! 2) Because you want to take up bidding space to make things more difficult for the opponents. 3) Because you want to indicate a lead to partner should the hand on your left end up as declarer. 4) Because you might want to pave the way for a possible sacrifice. Sometimes it is better to concede a penalty than let the opponents end up declaring. 1. You have a good hand Suppose you hold: S AQ765 H K2 D A87 C 75 and hear the hand on your right open 1H. As you would have opened the bidding if you had been declarer it seems only sensible that you should bid now and a bid of 1S seems a stand out. And so it is, but there is one requirement that is absolutely sacrosanct whatever the reason you have for overcalling and that is that you must hold at least a five card suit. We shall see in a moment that the suit must have some quality about it, but that is less important if you have a good hand. 2. You want to be difficult In the early days of bridge it was almost considered to be bad form to bid when you didn’t have much in the way of high cards, but that has all changed.

    Board 6 October 26th, 2018 Dealer East, E-W Vul An interesting board for those who like gadgetry. You hold: Q 6 4 3, J 10 9 4 3, J, . 9 7 4, and Partner opens 1NT (15-17). What do you think about that? 1NT probably won’t make, so wouldn’t it be nice if you could find a major suit fit, if there is one. You could bid 2., but what would you do if Partner responds 2? The answer is to bid 2, used by many as Garbage Stayman. It says “I have a weak hand, am running away from 1NT, let’s play this in 2 or 2, you choose which.” Garbage Stayman can be useful when Partner opens 1NT and we have a weak hand with at least 4-4 in the majors. About half the time Partner will actually have a 4-card major which will be a great improvement on playing in 1NT. And when she doesn’t you’ll likely end up in a 4- 3 or 5-3 fit. However, on a bad day, you will use Garbage Stayman with 4-4 in the majors, only to find out that Partner has opened 1NT with 2-2-4-5 shape. Not to worry, playing in 4-2 fits can be most character-forming. ♠ Q 6 4 3 This is the actual layout, and we can see that Garbage ♥ J 10 9 4 3 Stayman hits the jackpot. 1NT has no play, whereas 2 ♦ J makes on the nose against perfect defense, but is likely to ♣ 9 7 4 make an overtrick in real life.

Points refer to a total value of a hand, including shape. HCP refers only to a hand’s high-card points. A natural suited bid shows 4+ cards in its suit. A natural notrump bid shows a desire to play in notrump. A non-natural bid is called an artificial bid. A convention is a commonly used artificial bid that has been given a name. Conventions are not part of Standard American, but many are commonly or nearly-universally played. A forcing bid demands a bid from partner if the next opponent passes. A forcing bid is also known as one- round-forcing. A signoff is a bid that strongly requests a pass or correction to another suit shown by the player signing off. Partner normally may not make a bid in any suit not shown by the signing-off player. A signoff usually occurs when the captain of the auction places the final contract. An invitational bid communicates that the partnership should bid a game unless partner has very minimal strength for previous actions. A game-forcing bid means that the partnership cannot play any contract below 3NT.
