SUMMARY: A young Mississippi State University (MSU) fan named Brooks Glenn lost his cowbell at his first home football game. His father, Cameron Glenn, made a social media post about the lost cowbell on Mississippi State Lost and Found, which quickly received thousands of offers for help and encouragement. Despite not finding the cowbell, the Glenn family was amazed by the willingness of fans, not just from MSU, but from all over the Southeastern Conference (SEC), to give and offer replacements. Cameron Glenn and Brooks Glenn will be attending another game this Saturday, and they are putting their contact information on their cowbells from now on. The post has been shared more than 10,000 times.

SUMMARY: Mississippi lawmakers passed House Bill 1640, limiting the time people can be held in jail awaiting mental health care. The law states that individuals awaiting civil commitment can only be held for 48 hours unless facing criminal charges. The aim is to provide timely mental health treatment rather than keeping individuals in jail. The law will go into effect on July 1. Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott believes these changes are needed to address mental health issues in county jails. While it's a step in the right direction, more treatment facilities are needed to expedite the process and prevent unnecessary stays in jail.
