Quite merrily did the Chris tmas
bells crime out "Peace and good will
to all men," in Leakesville, this week
Usually, there is great deal of drum
kenuess here at this season of the
year, but this occasion marked a new
order of things for Leakesville along
this line. Not q single regretable
incident to mar the serenity, and
there was SO little drunkenness that it
was not noticeable and source of gen.
eral comment and congratulation. So
cially, everybody seemed to vie
with the other in making it enjoyable
to all. The first feature WAS Christ
mas tree, given at Mrs. W.. J. Green's.
The tree was tastefully trimmed and
decorated and overloaded with pres
eDts. Of course, this was the little
folks special delight. This was on
Christmas Eve, then on Christmas
day there were several private din.
ings at the different homes in town.
Christmas afternoon was spent by
every one in calls. In the early hours
OF the evening Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh
McInnis hung out their latch string
and Of course great many came in
for pleasant evening. On Friday
night an informal reception was given
at Mr.. and Mrs. V. d. Westerfeld's.
OF course, merry old st. Nick did not
forget to fill the stockings at each
hearthstone with dollies and toys,
candies, mits and fruits, and the
many other undiscovered delights of
the happy little ones. We are hear
tily glad to record such thorough
triumph for Leakesville, and hope to
again have the pleasure when another
twelve months have rolled around.
We wish all our friends aud patrons a
Happy and prosperous New Year."
May the New Year open up new era
for old Greene county, in the way of
prosperity, development, financially,
socially and morally.
