proceedings of the board Of county
commissioners. The Register is not
an official county paper this year, but
we believe that the county's business

to our readers to warrant publishing
the proceedings, even though we are
not paid for printing them. The Reg
lister is always on deck with the news
of the county. Don't fail to get in on
our bargain month for subscription.
