Newspaper Article #2 Statue committee scratches one artist off its list

After Civil War statue on the courthouse lawn fell, and shattered, the committee wants a new one. Along with a new statue, the committee also wants a new artist. To make the statue as perfect as possible, some of the committee members traveled to Chicago for ideas and a new artist. Everyone on the statue committee, as a whole, voted to "eliminate the artist from consideration because he was deemed not to be a good fit for the project". While they are trying to figure out the next move, time is running out, and so is the opportunity to apply for grants. Although they received a few donations during the Co. Fair, the committee is still short. They will meet again at 7 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Logan County Genealogical and Historical Society research center.
