Before another issue of The People- Sentinel comes from the ipress, eld Father Time will have marked the passing of the old yeai* and the birth of the new, and once more it is both our pleasure and privilege to wish our ftiends “A Happy New Year." The year just drawing to a close will go down in history as one of the most epochal since the foupding of the American Republic. Our people have been through strenuous times, but we confidently believe that better days aie ahead under the splendid leadership of President Roosevelt. On every hand there is evidence <jf a more optimistic spirit and a finer courage to face the future, sure in the knowledge that the great masses have in the White House a champion with a kindly heart,‘a brain to plan and a will to dare and do. Gradually the dark clouds of de pression are lifting and thb shining shafts of the sunlight of Hope arc breaking through to brighten the dawn of a new day. The mists of discouragement and despair^ are Be ing dissipated with a glimpse here and there of the blue sky of content ment and the mountain peak of econo mic peace and stability. We have traveled far along the road from the slough of despond dur ing the "past few short months, and while we are not yet entirely “out of the woads,” we believe that the goal will be reached ultimately and that many Happy New Years are in store for our people.

Had it not been for the plow-up campaign and the fine spirit of cooperation exhib ited .by southern growers, disaster would have befallen the Cotton Belt in the fail of 1933. The above grapli tells this better than words. A poten tial yield of seventeen and one-lialf million bales was reduced to thir-_ teen and one-tenth million bales by the action of the Agricultural Afl- justment ^Administration, and,' as n result, the income that the x - CO* ill. grower received from his lint was nearly doubled.

Tbe Magi The Magi m'eana literally "wlM men," t»r magi dabs or soothsayers—a priestly order of ancient Media and Persia. The three Magi of the East who brought gifts to the manger of Christ were, traditionally, Melcholr, Caspar and Balthazar, three kings of the East The first offered gold, tne emblem of royalty; the second, frank incense. In tokeiK of divinity.'and the third, myrrh, in prophetic allusion to the persecutlorjjK which awaited the Child. Melcholr'is said to mean “king of light”; Gaspaf. or Caspar, “the white one,” and Balthazar, “the lord of treasures.” Medieval legend calls them the Three Kings of Cologne, and the cathedral there claims their rel ics. They are commemorated on Janu ary 2, 3 and 4. and JJgrticularfy at the Feast of the Epiphany. -Hectors tGtc Creosote For Chest Colds Advertise in The Beopie-Sentinel For many-years our best doctors have prescribed ereosete in some form for coughs, colds and bronchitis, knowing how dan gerous it is to let them hang on.
