The Bookseller Who Helped Transform Oxford, Mississippi
Again then, there was no motive to consider that Howorth would assist preserve the household’s literary custom alive. He wasn’t a lot of a reader—or, for a very long time, a lot of an something. There are 5 Howorth brothers, and Richard is the center of them. Two moved away, one to turn out to be a lawyer on Wall Road, the opposite to turn out to be an architect in New Orleans; two stayed in Oxford, one overseeing admissions on the College of Mississippi, the opposite working a legislation observe on the town earlier than serving three phrases because the Lafayette County Circuit Courtroom choose. Howorth wasn’t positive if he needed to remain or go, and he wasn’t positive what he needed to do along with his life.
“I used to be directionless,” Howorth mentioned. “Fortunately, my older brother at all times had these massive concepts and schemes about what we must do, like becoming a member of the circus.” David, that brainstorming massive brother, had at the least one barely extra sensible thought: all all through their childhood, he had mentioned that the city of Oxford actually must have a bookstore, partly due to Faulkner and partly due to the college, however principally as a result of any city price residing in wanted to have a spot to purchase books. “I used to be by no means a very good scholar in highschool or faculty,” Howorth mentioned, “however I managed to graduate, and I saved occupied with David’s bookstore.”
“David’s bookstore” turned Sq. Books, in 1979. Satisfied it might want foot visitors to outlive, Richard went in search of a retail house however couldn’t discover something appropriate till one other one among his aunts, Vasser Bishop, provided a second-floor walkup subsequent to Neilson’s division retailer. The daughter of an English professor who as soon as gave Faulkner a D, Bishop charged her nephew lease, however volunteered her time on the bookstore.
Lisa, Howorth’s spouse, took shifts as nicely. Initially from Chevy Chase, Maryland, she had discovered her strategy to Oxford from San Francisco within the early seventies by way of a Volkswagen bus, ditching the California scene after it acquired “very darkish and really bizarre,” heading South on a lark after remembering how a lot she had beloved studying Faulkner in highschool. “I didn’t know a soul right here,” she mentioned. “I fell in with a handful of hippies. They’d a home close to the college, an outdated home the place we had a bunch of events, and that’s the place I met Richard one loopy evening.”
Howorth wasn’t a daily at that social gathering or some other, however he was taken by the intelligent, lanky woman with the home cat she had skilled to do tips. Inconveniently, he was about to take off for the very coast Lisa had currently deserted: “I had this buddy whose sister lived out in Oregon, and we went on the market and labored at a window-shade-manufacturing plant,” Richard mentioned. “I used to be afraid I wouldn’t ever see Lisa once more, so I wrote her this letter, saying I needed to remain in contact, and I left it for her on the massive home. And, the following morning, I rise up on the break of day to drive West, and there’s this letter on my windshield, and I inform my buddy that I’m not opening it till we’re a couple of states away.”
Howorth learn the letter as quickly as he crossed the third state line. Though her emotions matched his almost sufficient, it nonetheless took him a couple of weeks to name the quantity she’d given him. When he got here residence to Oxford a couple of months later, the very first thing he did was go away once more, for Washington, D.C., the place Lisa had returned to be along with her household. She finally got here again to Oxford with Richard, and so they acquired married there earlier than settling for some time in Washington, the place they acquired their begin in bookselling, at Georgetown’s Savile E book Store. “Extra cease than begin,” Richard jokes, since a part of what the couple did throughout their two-year apprenticeship was assist shut the place down. “It was an amazing retailer in its day—it actually was, but it surely was on its final legs, and after they determined to shut the shop we stayed lengthy sufficient to shut it.”
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State football didn’t have many changes to its depth chart for this week’s game at No. 7 Tennessee.
That’s not very surprising, but a look at both team’s depth charts reveals a potetional problem for Mississippi State, one that it is familiar with.
The Bulldogs’ defensive line is significantly smaller than the starting offensive line for Tennessee. The smallest Volunteer lineman weighs 310 lbs. Mississippi State has just two defensive line who tip the scales past 300 lbs. and they are Sulaiman Kpaka (300 lbs.) and Kai McClendon (305 lbs.).
That size discrepancy has already caused problems for the Bulldogs this season and, most likely, that trend is going to continue this Saturday night.

BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) – A classroom filled with future coders in Biloxi can be found at Mississippi Coding Academy, a place where instructors have one goal in mind — advancing the cyber world.
“Our focus is to give students an opportunity to learn coding and advanced technologies in the way of VR, AR, Artificial Intelligence, web design, and other coding skills,” said Jim St. Clair.
St. Clair is one of the instructors at the academy on the Gulf Coast.
“We have basic guidelines based on High School equivalent to a GED but are negotiable on any of those circumstances, but again, it really gives a chance to those populations that may not be able to enroll in those schools or be faced with high tuition so they could come here in class and learn,” said St. Clair.
During the course, Jim says students are getting a taste of what’s it like dealing with things like cybersecurity— something that workforces like Keesler and other businesses are looking to explore.
He also says while many students will get offers from different states, his goal is to prepare them to stay in Mississippi to help further the cybersecurity field in the future.
“Mississippi State University has a government-funded cybersecurity program that does a lot of research,” said St. Clair. “Keesler Air Force Base is the home to preliminary cybersecurity training for airmen and especially airmen who specialize in cybersecurity and defend the Air Force networks. We are growing our practice area and education program in cyber security.”
“If all our class gets a job offer that takes them to Silicon Valley, New York City, or Seattle then that’s wonderful. But we would love to build this as a workforce that we’re developing and getting opportunities for in Mississippi.”
The graduation will be held this Friday at the Mississippi Aquarium in Gulfport.
