Newspapers:

Carroll County has had several newspapers since 1842: Carroll Weekly News (1873- 1875; Chas C Harryman Editor and Proprietor), Hillsville Virginian (1879 - 1893; J W Mooris Editor, F W Farmer, Publisher), The Hillsville News (1894 - ; L N York Editor and Publisher ), The Times (1896- ;E M McPeak Editor), The People's Advocate (1899 - 1920; J H Boles, Sidna Allen, D A L Worrell editors W G Howlett, Jesse P Hall  Publishers), Carroll Journal (1902 - 1920) and The Carroll News (1920- present). Dates in ( ) of operation are not verified.
The Carroll News was established in 1920 by Byrum P. Goad, a Hillsville attorney and prosecutor, and his wife Belva M. Goad. 

The Goads sold the business to Allen Crabill, who then sold to Walter Edwards. Viola Edwards, sister-in-law to Walter, was Business Manager and operated the newspaper during the time Walter served in the Virginia legislature. In October 1957, Wayne Brockenbrough purchased The Carroll News from Edwards and formed Carroll Publishing Corporation and operated the newspaper until January 2004 when he sold it to Mid-South Management Company.

Here is a list of all the newspapers currently in the collection. We are still in search of newspapers that are not listed. With your help, we hope to fill in the missing issues.  You can see how far we have gotten in making them searchable.  As we make each paper searchable, we fill in the information about each one. If there is a yes in the Digital Scan column, that means we have already scanned it. If there is a no in the Digital column, we have yet to scan them and are working our way thru them. If there is a yes under the searchable column, that means we have ocr'd the paper and it is able to be searched.
