MS 19 enters Attala County as it travels through hilly woodlands for the next several miles, where it becomes concurrent with MS 14, before entering the community of Williamsville, where they have an intersection with MS 736 before MS 19 splits from MS 14 and heads north along MS 35 to cross the Yockanookany River and enter Kosciusko at an interchange with the Natchez Trace Parkway. MS 19/MS 35 immediately have an intersection with MS 731 (S Huntington Street) before bypassing downtown along its west side (known as Veterans Memorial Drive), where it has an intersection with MS 735 (Old State Highway 12) before becoming concurrent with MS 12. MS 12/MS 19/MS 35 head west through business district on the north side of town as a four-lane undivided highway, where they become concurrent with MS 43 at another intersection with MS 731 (N Natchez Street). MS 19/MS 35 split off along N Jackson Street as a two-lane shortly thereafter, with MS 19 itself splitting off along Fenwick Street a little over an eighth mile later. MS 19 passes through neighborhoods before leaving Kosciusko and traveling mostly wooded areas for the next several miles, where it passes through the community of Possumneck and has an intersection with MS 440, before crossing the Big Black River into Holmes County.
