Hoping that election tallies will be more accurate, voters in Yazoo County's Southern District justice court judge race will return to the polls on a yet-to-be-determined date to determine a clear winner.
At the conclusion of some three hours of testimony Wednesday involving the disputed results of the Nov. 8 election between incumbent Justice Court Judge Bennie K. Warrington and Danny Neely, Yazoo County Circuit Judge Jannie Lewis ordered a special election for the entire southern district.
In November's election, Neely garnered 1,590 votes with Warrington trailing with 1,589 votes … a difference of one vote. -------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.
