Decatur County Journal
December 23, l892

Christmas eve will be properly observed in
the several churches of
Leon. Appropriate exercises have been
prepared, which will be both
entertaining and attractive, and should be
well attended by our
citizens. The Christian, Presbyterian and
Advent Churches will each
have a tree for the benefit of the
children, besides the other
exercises. The Baptist Church have
arranged for a treat for their
children. The M.E. Church will have
something entirely new in the shape
of a pyramid on which to place the gifts
of the little ones. The
Christmas entertainments have become a
necessity. The children, and we
may say some of the older folks, look
forward to this with great
eagerness and it would not do to
disappoint them.
