Old state flag adopted as town flag in Trenton

By
TRENTON - The old state flag is now the official banner of the northwest Georgia town of Trenton. <br> <br> Officials of the city of about two thousand residents coupled the declaration with a decision to post a plaque bearing the Ten Commandments at City Hall. <br> <br> The old Georgia flag was replaced by the Legislature last year because of controversy about the Confederate battle emblem, which many consider a racist symbol. <br> <br> But Trenton officials adopted the old flag without any public opposition. <br> <br> The city currently flies Georgia&#39;s new state flag and the American flag outside the municipal building. A second flagpole will be erected for the old state flag. <br> <br> City officials say the state flag shouldn&#39;t have been changed.
