Have you heard something about Columbus that would make you not want to move there? If you're used to commuting an hour each way, great; in some ways, Tupelo is better than Columbus. It has a few more amenities than Columbus, but I'm not sure about a good bookstore. In fact, I only know of a couple of decent bookstores in the entire state, one in Oxford and one in Jackson.
Most anything between Columbus and Tupelo would be rural or semi-rural except for Aberdeen, and you definitely don't want to live there.
Decent rental houses in the Columbus area are scarce and expensive (expect $1000/month or so). Can't tell you about Tupelo, but with a lot of industry moving in there, I would assume they would be scarce also.
