LINCOLN
- The purple ribbons circle Lincoln College and the Logan County
Courthouse Square reminding all the Relay for Life of Logan County
is near. A thermometer has been raised on the Lincoln College lot
across from their campus on Woodlawn to show the funds that have
been raised toward the $64,600 goal.
