Victoria Love, the city of Jackson’s rental registration manager, scrunched her eyebrows together into a deep line, mimicking the confused expression she said Mayor John Horhn made the first time she introduced herself to him in 2024. He was a state senator at the time.
“I’m giving him my card, and he just pauses and looks at me and is like, ‘Rental registration? What is it that you do besides getting the rentals to register?’” Love said.

Walking through a parking lot at Northeast Mississippi Community College on a November afternoon, Nickeda Shelton was eager to get to her job as one of the school’s student counselors.
She loves working at the Booneville campus, enough so that she drives around 60 miles round trip every day from her home in Tupelo. It was an exciting change after roughly two decades of work in a K-12 setting.

For decades, leisurely drives through western Madison County would take you through rolling hills rich in farmland, pastures, and timber. Row crops could be found growing in the mellow, brown loam soils along rivers and creek bottoms. Prime cattle would be grazing in knee-deep Bermuda grass, loafing under mammoth oaks. During spring, blooming Dogwoods would explode resembling that of a new-fallen snow through the moist soil basins. During winter, Possumhaw would line the fencerows revealing their vibrant red berries offering food and cover for cardinals, cedar waxwings, and quail.

Dr. Glen Curtiss Warren, aged 94, died on December 18, 2025, at River Oaks Hospital in Jackson, a hospital that he co-founded. Glen was born on November 2, 1931, in D’Lo to Amanda Warren and Leonard Warren during the Great Depression. His father was fascinated with airplanes, so he named his son after Glenn Curtiss, the aviation pioneer, and dropped one of the ‘n’s’. Glen’s humble early years were spent working hard on his family’s small farm during World War II, while many of the men were away in the military.
