A newspaper article from the Buchanan News titled "For Eleven Years," which reads,
"With this issue of THE BUCHANAN NEWS, the present proprietor completes his eleventh year as editor, owner and publisher of this newspaper. The plant and good will of the business was bought from Alfred B. Carper, who had conducted the same for five years, succeeding A. B. Land.
We feel that we have been successful in our work here, although not without some errors, we admit. And while the going has been hard at times, as with others, we have ever been optimistic and hopeful. We have not missed an issue during this time, except for the first of the year holiday, which had been customary.
In our announcement, July 12, 1928, we said that: "We do not view a newspaper as an individual proposition; it is just as much a part of the community as the churches, the schools, the lodges, or any other public or civic agency. There is nothing personal with it - it is here for a purpose, which purpose is to do what good it can in all the ways it can. Its success, however, depends upon the support it receives from those it seeks to serve. The people themselves really make the good newspaper, so without the co-operation of the citizenship, no one, regardless of how talented or experienced thy may be, can hope to make a real success in the newspaper field. Hence, it is our sincere wish to give Buchanan and Botetourt county the very best medium that is possible for us to produce."
That still goes!
J. D. Buky, Editor." - Creator
