The members of the county court
have expressed themselves as favor
able to the proposal for road three
miles up lower Birch creek as petl-
toned for by the woman of that Sec

dents can agree upon another route
so that the old bridge, formerly over
the river above Pendleton, can be
used and so that the heavy filling
would be eliminated that the court
will give the necessary order,
