Terza, Panola County: A Methodist Church, a Rural Post Office, and the Lester Family

Appalachian Community Histories – Terza, Panola County: A Methodist Church, a Rural Post Office, and the Lester Family. Along Terza Road in Panola County, Mississippi, between the communities of Batesville and Sardis, lies a rural settlement whose history can easily be overlooked. Terza never developed into one of the county’s principal towns, and surviving historical accounts offer little indication that it possessed the commercial importance of its larger neighbors. Nevertheless, the community’s name appears in nineteenth-century postal records, early Mississippi historical publications, Methodist church histories, and cemetery records that reveal a settlement with roots extending back to the antebellum period.

Appalachian Community Histories – Sardis, Panola County: Railroads, Historic Courthouses, Sardis Dam, and Civil Rights. In the northern reaches of Mississippi, where the rolling hills of Panola County give way to the fertile lands of the Mississippi Delta, the town of Sardis developed from a small nineteenth-century settlement into an important center of government, commerce, transportation, and architectural history. Its streets preserve reminders of a time when railroads determined the fortunes of neighboring communities, county courthouses represented political influence, and cotton, timber, and agriculture supported much of the regional economy.

Tocowa, Panola County: Mineral Springs, a Historic Hotel, and a Forgotten Mississippi Resort Town

Appalachian Community Histories – Tocowa, Panola County: Mineral Springs, a Historic Hotel, and a Forgotten Mississippi Resort Town. In the wooded hills of southwestern Panola County, Mississippi, where the rolling bluffs descend toward the lowlands of the Mississippi Delta, there once stood a small town known for its mineral springs, country hotel, and reputation as a place of healing. The community was called Tocowa, although historical records also refer to the surrounding area as Tocowa Springs or Tocawa Springs Village. During the nineteenth century, its natural spring attracted visitors who believed that the water possessed medicinal properties, while the surrounding settlement developed into a small center of rural commerce, education, and community life.

Horatio, Panola County: From a Rural Post Office to a Forgotten Mississippi Town

Appalachian Community Histories – Horatio, Panola County: From a Rural Post Office to a Forgotten Mississippi Town. In the countryside west of Sardis, Mississippi, once stood a small community known as Horatio, a place whose name has largely disappeared from modern maps but whose history survives through scattered postal records, early twentieth-century directories, and references to one of Panola County’s historic churches. Unlike the larger communities of Sardis, Batesville, and Como, Horatio never became a major commercial center, and its surviving documentation offers only fragments of the lives and institutions that once defined it.

Ole Miss football star Will Echoles coaching baseball just start of how he's helping hometown

OXFORD — Right before the East Coast Sox 12U baseball team came up to bat, Shaune Holiday had a conversation that made him chuckle. Holiday was with star Ole Miss football defensive tackle Will Echoles . But Echoles wasn't doing anything football related. The 6-foot-3, 315-pound potential top-10 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft was getting ready to hold elbow pads from hitters half his height. “I went out there with him one day, and Will was in the first base box," Holiday said. "The opposing coach looked at me and he says, 'Is that who I think it is?' ... the other coach was kind of starstruck, you know." Over the past year, Echoles has built a foundation from the ground up to give back to his hometown of Houston, Mississippi, and the surrounding communities. He has also spent free time since last spring − even during the football season − partnering with a friend from high school to coach a youth baseball team. His favorite part is being the first person to talk to a player after he makes a mistake. “A kid can be down on themselves," Echoles said. "They can strike out or make a bad
