Austinville, Wythe County: Chiswell’s Lead Mines, the American Revolution, and the Civil War

Appalachian Community Histories – Austinville, Wythe County: Chiswell’s Lead Mines, the American Revolution, and the Civil War. Along the New River in southwestern Virginia, the small community of Austinville occupies a place in American history far greater than its size might suggest. Long before the community acquired its present name, the surrounding hills contained one of the most important lead deposits in colonial America, providing a mineral that would become essential to frontier settlement, the American Revolution, and the Civil War. The mines helped sustain armies, attracted entrepreneurs and skilled laborers, and established an industrial settlement whose influence extended well beyond the mountains of Virginia.

In the southern reaches of Carroll County, Virginia, near the North Carolina state line, lies the community of Lambsburg.

Operation Christmas Child shoebox campaign starting

Christmas is just around the corner, which means it’s time for an annual effort to provide a brighter holiday for children. The Operation Christmas Child shoebox campaign will get into high gear during National Collection Week, which begins Monday and runs through Nov. 23. It involves volunteers packing shoeboxes filled with gifts which will be distributed to children in need around the world, many who are suffering from war, poverty, disease and disaster, according to organizers. The Samaritan’s Purse project seeks fun toys, school supplies and personal-care items for kids, through a number of drop-off locations. Included are four in Mount Airy-Surry County and one in Cana, Virginia. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 244 million gift-filled shoeboxes to millions of children in 175-plus countries and territories, information from the group states. In 2026, campaign officials hope to generate enough to reach 12.8 million children in partnership with churches. Local drop-off sites Participating shoebox packers in the Operation Christmas Child campaign, which typically include groups and individuals, can take shoebox gifts to the nearest drop-off location during convenient hours of operation. • Bannertown Baptist Church is a longtime collection site, located at 1834 Westfield Road,

NCHSAA Round Two State 2A Football Playoff Preview, Cherryville at Alleghany

Cherryville, NC (WNN) - The Cherryville Ironmen will head to the mountains of Sparta, NC, for a second-round playoff matchup at Alleghany High School on Friday, November 13, 2026. The number five seed, Alleghany Trojans, were idle last week after earning a first-round bye. Cherryville, the number twelve seed, is coming off a dominating 63-0 performance at home against Elkin High School. This time of year is what many refer to as the second season, or the real season. Each game matters; simply put, you win, you advance; if you lose, your season is over. Each round, the competition potentially gets tougher as fewer teams remain in contention for the coveted state championship.
