Tumultuous Celebra tion
Bride and Groom Return to Hershe y and
. Are ' Greeted with Noise, More Noise,
Yet More Noise :
Nothing could possibly have caused
more demonstration save the arrival'' of
Col. Roosevelt than was caused on Mon-day
evening when Mr. and .Mrs. .Ezra
Hershey returned grom their wedding
trip. Friends had been making pre-parations
for two days past and every
avenue of approach to town was care-fully
watched lest the couple slip in
unawares. Large banners were huhg
along the. sides of the Hershey Inn" orj
Friday night announcing the return of
Mr." and Mrs. Hershey. On one, zni
nouncement was made that $20 in gclj
would be given to those making the
best demonstration. "What we want
is noise and some more, and yet some."
The. bride and groom . came from
Hummelstown on the 9:45 ear Monday
evening. It was but a moment until a
large crowd gathered in front of the
Inn; The large -fire bell was carried
across the street and was rung unceas-ingly
for over an hour. Tin pans, .emp-ty
barrels, in fact everything that would
make a noise was used to create- the
greatest din that has ever been, heard
in Hershey; After the demands of the
noisy crowd had been met by the groom,
they slipped away, into the darkness
like Indians of the days gone by.
Mr. and Mrs. Hersaeywill be at home,
to their friends after November '1.
They both have a large circle of friends
who extend i to them congratulations,
and best wishes..
