COUNTY HAS DISTINGUISHED
VISITOR TUESDAY

Among Clintwood's most dis
tinguished visitors of the year
was Robert l.. Kincaid, vice pres
ident of Lincoln Memorial Uni
versity, of Harrogate, Tenn, who
stopped here briefly Tuesday.
Mr.. Kincaid said he had wish
ed for some time to visit Dicken
son, Buchanan and TazeWell
counties. and that he took advan
tage of an invitation Of Wheeler
Kesterson, OF the Virginia game
commission, to accompany him
on brief trip through the three
counties.
Born in Georgia, the grandson
of Confederate soldier, a n d
named for General Lee, he en-
rolled at Lincoln Memorial Uni
versity in 1912, because as he
said, he knew of no other school
where he could pay his way by
working. He graduated there in
1915, then took a course in jour-
nalism at the University of Mis-
souri,, then returned to Lincoln
Memorial University to serve as
secretary of the institution. He
has been there since and is now
one of the cornerstones of that
school. He is a profound Lincoln
authority, is one of the editors of
Lincoln Herald, and has travel
ed over every mile OF the Lin
coin country from Long Run in
Kentucky to Oak Ridge in Hill
nois seeking first-hand knowI-
edge Of the Civil War president.
