We wonder how we might write to say "thank you" in a different way; but, to put it plainly and without affectation, we can think of no better way than these simple old words we have used for so many years-A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS. Although 1963 has been a year filled with local, state, national and internation al unrest with one crisis after another and although the sale of tobacco has been be low last year's average, our people have done well. Some of them will have to strain their credit in obtaining money to atarttfce new crop, but the records show that Madison County farmers have produced better than last year with such crops as milk, eggs, poultry, meat, tobaccb'idmaroeSi f and even honey. This can mean only one thing. Our peo ple have developed a better "know-how." If the coming year should be favorable, this added ability and better knowledge should result in banner farming in Madi son. We hope that will be the case. Let us be indeed grateful during this season as we exchange gifts, have family "get-togethers" and enjoy the Christmas Season. We also wish to express our sincerest thanks to our subscribers and advertisers during the past year. Without them, a newspaper could not exist. We also wish to thank each and every news correa dent from the various commiti wfeo have so faithfully sent us the It is with this thought in mind thate publisher, editor and entire stpfOf Tne News-Record wish for you all a ; Tlferry Christmas Letters to the Editor m 1 1 Praises Booster Club Mr. James Story Editor of The News-Record Marshall, N.

SELL YOUR TOBACCO AFTER CHRISTMAS! Ray Haney Warehouses Still Have Selling Spate Fer A CHRISTMAS SALE The old Joke about Dad "monop olizing" Junior's train Is ceasing to ba a Joke, according to some toy producers, who contend that this year there will be toys for adults under some Christmas trees. Mr. Jay V. Zimmerman, presi dent of the largest hand puppet makers in the world, recently told toy buyers and salesmen that "toys made specifically for adults to play with will eventually exceed the present popularity of children's toys. ' ' This may sound a little unbe lievable and optimistic (for the toy industry), but Mr. Zimmerman says the theory is neither radical or new. "For centuries," he says, "man has been playing with his children's toys under th? guise it was for Junior's sake, but that's a lot of toywash. They enjoy playing with their kid's toys, but they're too ashamed to admit it." Right or wrong, several major toy companies are producing spe cific adult toys this year. We'll just have to wait and see how many Dads receive some of them as presents from Santa.
