the Lauderdale County Agri-Center on the last Saturday of each month to
drop off items for recycling. Board of Supervisors President(Embedded image

PEYTON SMITH: Earthquake damage, I'm covered for that right?
MBJ


Saturday, May 2, was just another Saturday in Mississippi. People were
enjoying the one of the biggest sporting days of the year, with Kentucky
Derby, college baseball and of course the "biggest fight in history"
between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather that night. About 7:45 that
night I was at friend's house and somebody said that there had been an
earthquake in Madison.
