CALLITHUMPIAN SERENADE
UPSET A WHOLE TOWN
speeIaI 10 the Evening Iournal.

Smyrna, July 26.-The Americus
Club boys ssrenaded Mr.. and MRS
Harry C. Tschudy last night, or rather
early this morning Mr. Tschudy and
bride have just returned from their
wedding tour. Yesterday he was at the
club. but the serenade was a complete
surprise, in fact, none but the club
members knew that it was to take
place, thus a feeling of fear came over
the citizens in the western part OF the
town when their slumbers were sud-
denly disturbed by the unearthly noise.
1t was the most complete serenade ever
given here. On each end of the groom s
porch two huge farm bells we're sus-
pended, while tin horns. base drums,
.cymbals, cannon crackers. horse fiddle
and several guns and revolvers made
up the rest of the noise producers. The
ringing OF the deep-toned bells caused
the greatest CONSERVATION among the
citizens, many Of whom thought the
town was on fire. There was almost a
panic in Pearl street, small thorough
fare used by the colored people Their
cries OF what is the matter while the
firearms were being used, and the bells
rung, only added to the confusion in
the Seventh district One woman yelled
that the soldiers of Spain were coming,
and thisincreased the fears other trem-
bling companions. MIR. Tschudy stood
the serenade from a. m. to o'clock
and then made his appearance at the
front window. The serenade. different
from any ever arranged i'm Smyrna be-
fore, has been the talk of Smyrna to-
day
