A Circuit Court judge issued an order this week to revisit the ballots involving the primary election for superintendent of county education.
A hearing was held last week involving Delorris Smith’s petition to contest the primary election for superintendent with the Yazoo County School District.
Circuit Court Judge Isadore Patrick issued an order Monday morning concerning the challenge. The order said another tally of votes should be conducted.
Smith contested the election on Aug. 22, claiming some voters were denied the right to vote and that there were irregularities at two voting precincts.

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.
