Associate Eduor of this paper ne
cessitated a change in the peson
nel of the office. Vie have been
fortunate in securing the services
of Mr. J. B. Sledge whom e pre
sent today to our readers as occu
pying (he position Mr. Sta.nhack
held. He brings to the paper en
thusiasm, personal interest in the
paper as well as the county, to n
and community and e hipeak
for him a kind word and a friendly
greeting when he goes among our
people. The paper has ever tried
to uphold what is best and it i- its
purpose to work unceasingly tor
the public good. Ii is hard tor any
person or newspaper to accomplish
much without co-operation and we
ask again that this be given Mr
Sledge in his new enterprise
In coming betore the readers of I
the Roanoki;. NtViSas a novice
in the newspaper world I wish to
say that I am here to serve. Any
help or encouragement that may
be given me will be gratefully re
ceived and I hereby pledge myself
to do my best to further and ad
vance every interest tint iciul to
the public good.

ed the showman ad , a fellow
.sneaks in to ask you to suppress
the story ot the tight that he was
mixed up in. Then putting all the
lace and triinmii'.gs on the bride's
wedding gow n, dressing ihe groom
in conventional black and starting
them oil' with congratulations and
best wishes, you turn again to the
tear side ot life and write: 'But
the st itely ship moves on to the
haven under the lull, and oh, for
the touch of a vanished hand and
the sound of a voice that is still.'
"Then comes a lull and the old
typew riter is content to record the
commonplace facts, knowing that
just around the corner, and each
awaiting his turn, stand Joy, Grief,
Sorrow, Mirth, Sarcasm, Wit and
Laughter. "
Small wonder, then, that the
newspaper man brings to his busi
ness a devotion that is not found
in any other walk of life.
Tur Stars and Snipes went into
battle tor the first nine during the
world war during the recent Ln
lente storming ot Vuny Pidge in
Prance
"To a young Texan, who came
to Ontario to enlist and w ho is now
iing wounded in the hospital,"
the despatch adds, ''belongs the
honor of the first carrying the
American Hag into the battle in the
Luropean war, into which the
the L'nited States, as a belligerent,
has just entered. He went up to
the assault at Thelus carrying the
Stars and Stripes on his bayonet
and fell thus."

Gi'.Hv. NY has gone 'Ut of her
u ay to drag us into the war. tor
the American ships she torpedoed
recently, were of no service to the
Allies whatever, .-o she must have
sunk them lor the purpose ot
"dragging us into the war," so
she can say "We cannot light the
whole world," and save tier face
in sueing for peace.
IT has been that the LaFayette
Flying Corps Squadron, composed
of Americans who have distin
guished themselves ai the front,
will change from the French to
the American military and here
after carry the American flag at
French tront.
MOST of us, will go through this
war aboul as we did in the Spanish-American
war that is we will
not know or feel the difference,
except what we see in the papers
It is becoming more evident each
day ihiit the people in Germany
are looking more anxiously to the
bread supply than they are 10 the
mythical glory of scientific retreats.
There is something the matter
somewhere when one nation's
rights become the rest ot the world's
wrongs. That is what we are go

Before long they will be having
primaries and county-to-county
campaigns in Russia. Won't it be

over there.
These peace meetings did some
service in curing patriotism of its
