Mailbox.A few years ago, I discovered Mississippi Magazine and was so impressed with the issue that I bought it and thoroughly enjoyed everything in the publication. I immediately became a subscriber and can hardly wait for each new issue to arrive. The November/December 2004 issue proves to be another great one. In fact, each issue makes me want to pack my bags and head for your state for an extended stay. I also want to congratulate Patty Roper on the book she has published.

The "Christmas in Water Valley" article in your November/December issue was great! Thanks so much. Dona Lovelace Water Valley I always enjoy reading the Small-Town Spotlight. The November/December issue featured Soso ("Where in Mississippi is ... Soso?'), and I found it very interesting, especially how the town was named. When I was growing up in the 1940s and '50s, a music teacher named Mr. J.B. Coats held singing schools at different churches; he was from Soso. He wrote gospel songs connected with the Stamps Music Company. I was surprised that he wasn't mentioned in your article. Opal Cothern Jayess Editor's note: According to according to prep. 1.

In the September/October issue, you printed a letter from Terry Robbins saying that she had given a year's subscription to your magazine as a Christmas gift to a friend in England. Well, that's me! Terry and I have been penpals for over 30 years, and we still find so much to tell each other in our letters. In 1996, we were able to meet when Terry was on a trip to England, and it is a wonderful memory. I am enjoying receiving the magazine so much. The articles about historic and scenic places in Mississippi interest me most, and I like the recipes and gardening articles, too. Even the adverts are interesting, as I can compare what people like buying in Buying in has several meanings.
