This Father's www.mississippilink.com VOL. 25, NO. 34 JUNE 13 - 19, 2019 50¢ Lessons from This Father’s Day By Glenn Mollette black fathers Guest Columnist What can we as father’s do with our remaining years? We can’t turn back the clock. Any and all missed op- portunities cannot be reclaimed. Some fathers’ live with regrets while others know they did the best they could. I don’t know of too many dads who deeply feel like they have been perfect. In our younger adult and middle age years we had a lot on our plates. We were trying to make it in our jobs and keep food in the house and a roof over our heads. Most of the time we were juggling long hours. Most of us tried to do the best we could. The best you can do with your remaining years is to love your children and grandchildren and others. Call them on the phone and visit them every chance you have. Engage in personal conversations. Talk to them about their lives and what they are doing. Give advice but don’t overdo it. Try to remember how well you listened to advice when you were 30 years old. Help your family as you can but if you do it all the time you will cripple them. What are your children going to do when you are gone? They have to make it fi nancially and emotionally. Birds must learn to fl y on their own and so do our children. Most anyone can go through a lot of money in a year or two if they don’t know how to budget and live thrifty. Find opportunities to engage with family as you can. Sometimes a day trip in a car with the radio off provides a lot of casual opportunities to talk about old times and new times.

  • A GUIDE to the MAGNOLIA STATE Delbert Hosemann
    A GUIDE TO THE MAGNOLIA STATE 2019 PUBLISHED BY Delbert Hosemann Secretary of State MISSISSIPPI Mississippi is the 20th state admitted to the Union. Nicknamed both “The Magnolia State” and “The Hospitality State,” Mississippi took its name from the Mississippi River which originates from the Indian word misi-ziibi, meaning “Great River” or “Father of Waters.” David Holmes was chosen as the first governor of the State. With a population of almost 3 million and a land mass of 48,434 square miles, Mississippi is the 32nd most extensive and the 31st most populous of the 50 states. The state’s density is 62.5 persons per square mile. Mississippi is heavily forested, with more than half of the state’s area covered by wild trees, including pine, cottonwood, elm, hickory, oak, pecan, sweetgum, and tupelo. The State of Mississippi is entirely composed of lowlands. Situated at 806 feet above sea level, the highest point is Woodall Mountain in the northeastern corner of the state at the foothills of the Cumberland Mountains. The lowest point is sea level at the Gulf Coast. The mean elevation in the state is 300 feet above sea level. For most of the year, the climate is mild, but becomes semi–tropical on the Gulf Coast. Summers are long, making it possible to grow crops from March through October. The average temperature in January is 48 degrees. The average temperature in July is 81 degrees, but more common daytime temperatures range in the 90s. The average rainfall is 52 inches and fall is the driest season.
