A cover story featuring Mississippi State University’s new Bully XXII mascot, Dak, and his owners, Meridian residents Bruce and Julie Martin, and a profile on J’Mar Smith, former Meridian High School standout and a quarterback with the USFL’s Birmingham Stallions, are just two of the stories readers will discover in the latest edition of Meridian Life magazine now available.

The free community magazine, showcasing the people and communities of Lauderdale County, can be found at many area retail and business locations. The publication, which is produced by The Meridian Star, is also available at the newspaper office in downtown Meridian while supplies last.
