Voters in the Southern District will return to the polls next week to elect their justice court judge.
A special election will be held Tuesday between Danny Neely and Bennie “Kay” Warrington for the Southern Justice Court District seat.
Of the 26 precincts in Yazoo County, 11 of those will vote in this upcoming election.
Neely, who is currently serving as judge, was ruled the winner over the incumbent judge by a single vote. Warrington successfully challenged the election in court.
The polls will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 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.
