Mr. A.G. Green called in last Monday morning and paid his subscription in advance, as it is his custom every year. He says he has been a subscriber to The Roanoke News since 1866, when it was owned and edited by Stone and Uzzell, and that being the case, he is doubtless the oldest subscriber on the list. He is 86 years old and is still hale and hearty. May he continue to live and prosper, is our sincere wish.

Sweet to Be Remembered
We want to return many thanks to our friend and kinsman, Mr. S.P. Johnston for a bag full of the best part of the hog killing. He knows when and how to touch a tender spot, just at this season of the year. How it does carry us back to the days of “Auld Lang Syne.”
