Once again it’s too close to call.
With all of the regular, curbside and absentee ballots counted, Aubry Brent Jr. led Hattie Williams with 328 votes to 293 Tuesday evening.
Over 60 affidavit ballots remained to be counted. Those votes had not been counted by press time Tuesday at noon. City Clerk Shirley Knight said the election commissioners were scheduled to count the remaining votes at 2 p.m.

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.
