Early in the settlement of this locality also came William Kincaid who owned and occupied the Jessie Beard farm now owned by A. P. Pence, which property has recently become famous as a summer resort by reason of the medical qualities of the Buffalo Sulphur Springs.

Little did Kincaid dream of the medical properties boiling up out of this lick to which he then saw the wild buffalo rushing with madness to slake their thirst. It may be incidentally remarked here that traces of the old Buffalo path leading across Keeney’s Knob, from the Buffalo Springs to Green Sulphur Springs are still to be found.

Kincaid moved west about the beginning of the present century, and so far as we know, left no immediate descendants in this county. It is supposed on reasonable authority that William Kincaid belonged to the Kincaid family of Augusta and came here about the same time that the Grahams settled at Lowell.

Studies led by Professor Lennart Hardell in Sweden found significantly increased risk of brain tumors

from 10 or more years of cellphone or cordless phone use.

Among their many

significant findings are the following:

$ For every 100 hours of cellphone use, the risk of brain cancer increases by 5%;

$ For every year of cellphone use, the risk of brain cancer increases by 8%;

$ After 10 or more years of digital cellphone use, there was a 280% increased risk of

brain

cancer

$ For digital cellphone users who were teenagers or younger when they first starting

using a cellphone, there was a 420% increased risk of brain cancer.  

The study's suggestion that the phone be kept one inch from the body has been met with vitriol and ridicule from the tech industry.

Had a rough ride over hills and dales to Guest's; Here brother Pigman met me, and gave an agreeable account of the work on the south branch of Patomac. I am kept in peace; and greatly pleased I am to get into the woods, where, although alone, I have blessed company, and sometimes think, Who so happy as myself?

We had twelve miles to R.'s, along a bushy, hilly road. A poor woman with a little horse, without a saddle, outwent us up and down the hills, and when she came to the place appointed, the Lord met with and blessed her soul.

King Kong is a great demonstration of  a mind open and immediate and genuine.  Too many years trying to accommodate some indifferent sense of cool.  Tom Waits takes off a blind and is johnson.

Strange kind of forest with dinosaurs.
