Five more candidates turned in their qualifying packets on Tuesday, raising the total number of hopefuls in the Yazoo County elections to 45 candidates.
Circuit Clerk Susie Bradshaw said she also had a few candidates change their political party before the deadline passed.
For Yazoo County sheriff, incumbent Thomas Vaughan and Dennis Moulder will run as Republicans while challengers Jacob “Jake” Sheriff and Michael Wallace will run as Democrats. William Gilmore will run as an Independent. -------for the rest of the story see The Yazoo Herald printed edition or subscribe to the Digital Edition.----------
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
