FIFTY YEARS OLD.
This is our golden jubilee, ihe
ROANOKE Ne'S having passed
its fiftieth mile post and today we
enter upon a new volume, 51 . Fitly
years is quite an age for a county
paper to run under one name and
for more than thirty years it has
been under its present manage
ment without change.
After passing the half century
mark it is needless to make prom
ises. Our aim has always been
and will ever be to make the ROA
NOKE News a newspaper for the
people, a clean, wholesome sheei
for every member of the family in
the homes we visit.

Sermons and Large Congrega-
tlons.
I he resurrection ot Lhnst was
the theme in all the VX'eldon pul

this historical event clustered the
Christian's hope. Large congre
gallons attended both the morning
and evening service.
At the Presbyterian church Sun
day afternoon, Rev. H. F. Morion

forever more.
