By resolution last Thursday the
board of county commissioners desig-
mated the Black and Yellow trail
across the county as the official state
highway. This trail was designated
as the official county highway last
year, and over $4,000 were expended
on it in the past two years exclusive of
bridges. Part of the money appro-
priated by the federal and state gov
ornaments will be spent or this trail
through the county this year, and
other lines running through White to
Bruce and other points will come in
for a goodly share of this fund coming
into the county treasury.
