Life-saving gift
Those Lincoln County residents who have yet to display their house numbers for emergency personnel are encouraged to purchase the signs as Christmas gifts for themselves. In some cases, the markers can literally mean the difference between life and death. Locally, the 911 signs may be purchased at Spratlin Hardware & Building Supply, B & J Appliance & Signs, and P & D Electronics.
