Yazoo County voters will head to the polls Tuesday to select presidential and U.S. Senate candidates in the Republican primary and candidates for U.S. Senate and U.S. House District 2 in the Democratic primary.
"My anticipation is that we will have a moderate turnout,” said Circuit Clerk Robert Coleman. “We haven't had a lot of people in my office for absentee ballots."
GOP candidates Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul will be joined on the ballot by Michele Bachmann, Jon Huntsman, Gary Johnson and Rick Perry on the GOP ballot.

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.
