Yazoo County voters in 11 precincts are asked to return to their polling sites April 3 to cast their vote again for either Danny Neely or Bennie K. Warrington in the race for justice court judge in the Southern District.
Yazoo County Circuit Court Judge Jannie Lewis set the date for the special election Tuesday at the conclusion of a 25-minute hearing.
Only voters in the justice court's Southern District will vote. The precincts are 3-1 West, 3-2 East, 3-4 South, East Bentonia, Jonestown, Mechanicsburg, Robinette, Satartia, Valley, Ward 5 and West Bentonia.
Judge Lewis ordered the special election Jan. 11 after Neely and Warrington reached a settlement on the issues involved in the case. Neely was certified the winner in the race for justice court judge in the Southern District after leading by one vote. Neely received 1,590 votes to Warrington's 1,589. Ann McBride trailed with 581 votes.

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.
