A three-year-old Port Gibson child continues to recover after a car accident that killed her mother last week. Malaysia Clark was severely injured in the crash on Highway 61 north of Natchez, where her mother, 26-year-old Precious Clark, died. Authorities believe the child was ejected through an open sunroof and later found at the bottom of a 20‑foot embankment wall. She suffered a broken arm and a broken neck and may face permanent paralysis from the waist down. She is now off life support and breathing on her own at Children’s Mississippi Hospital in Jackson.

As Black Friday approaches, analysts say major department stores are offering some of the strongest deals. Kohl’s and Belk ranked high for discounts, and JCPenney is advertising reductions on up to 75 percent of certain items, including jewelry, apparel, and some appliances.
