community. This set of Leakesville 5
population decided last Thursday
might that Ringing the New Year in
came within their category, and was
incumbent upon them To so do. The
changing of the bell at such an anu

tricts. As Lcakesville has to live
through a great many of years be-
fore becoming a city, guess wen
hear this toscin now at the opening
of each Year.
