Prentiss County: Sheriff warns about payment-demand calls
The Prentiss County Sheriff's Department warned Monday that callers posing as cable, internet or television providers have demanded immediate payment to prevent a supposed service shutoff, Alcorn County News reported. The department said scammers were active in Prentiss and surrounding counties, following bogus jury-duty calls last week. Residents who receive a suspicious call can hang up and contact the provider using a number from their bill or its official website. The report lists 662-728-6232 for the sheriff's department. It does not give a count of victims or reported losses.
Alcorn County: Courthouse renovation has a year-end target
Alcorn County officials now expect work on the historic courthouse in Corinth to finish at the end of 2026, according to Alcorn County News' Monday report of a Daily Corinthian update from Chief Administrative Officer Bobby Burns. The project began in May 2024 and has missed earlier completion estimates. The new date remains a target; the report says remaining work includes courtroom balcony seating and office space, and that work in the older building can still affect the schedule.
Alcorn County: Both public school districts report fewer students
Fall enrollment is down 4 percent from last school year in the Corinth School District and 3.8 percent in the Alcorn School District, Alcorn County News reported Monday, citing the Daily Corinthian. These are reported districtwide comparisons; neither article gives a new school-by-school count. The decline may matter for future budgets, but no specific local funding cut was announced in the report.
Alcorn County: Corinth Kiwanis makes hospital gift
The Corinth Kiwanis Club gave $20,000 to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, Alcorn County News reported Monday. The report says the donation supports pediatric care at the Memphis hospital and its Tupelo Outpatient Center. It does not specify how the hospital will allocate the gift.
