PRUD'HosINE CITY, July II, 1898.
Mr. Editor: On Thursday morning,
the 9th inst, a merry crowd of ladies
and gentlemen, consisting of L. G. Cha
chele and lady, Martin Carron and lady
and daughter, Miss Minerva, Aaron Cha
cherG and lady, Miss May Gil, Stuart
and Gordon SandOZ and Gaines Cha
chele, left Prud'homme City at 2 O'Clock
for Bayou Blue Springs. The party
reached bayou Nezpique at about a.
M, when breakfast was taken; soon af-
ter which the noted fisherman, Mr.. TIC.
ChacherG, disappeared and when he was
about 30 minutes afterwards
he had succeeded in landing Is fine cat
flsh. AS time was precious we did not
let him catch them all, but pressed on
to the famous springs, which are short
distance beyond the Nezpique, reaching
our destination in time for dinner.
After everything was arranged in the
camps the fishermen and hunters scat
tered along the banks of the bayou in
search of fish and game for the next
meal, leaving "UDcle Martin in camp
to keep things straight. 1t is needless
to say that he can't be beaten at that, us
he takes great interest i'll such matters
and is moro than funny while on duty.
Ia due time the fishermen returned (the
lucky ones being T. c. Chachele and 5.
with more tish-catfish and
oerch-than the party could dispose of
Tor supper, and the hunters returned
soon after overloaded with game. Tn
lie Martin and Master Gordon prepared
The fish for cooking and turned them
over to the cook who, superintended by
he kind ladies OF the party, soon had
hem on the table, done to turn"
pleasantly, with an abundance of fish
he party was stricken with grief and
lismay because of the departure of Mr..
md Mrs. T. c. ChachelG, on account Of
Master Gaines having taken quite i'll.
Of course, after four had left the party
t was not quite SO gay for the rest Of us,
)ut we stayed at the springs until Mon
lay, when we left for Prud'homme City,
at about midday. We took
breakfast at bayou des Cannes, and it
vas truly a treat, having been prepared
>y Mrs. Carron and Mrs. A. Chachelt. !
All were so well pleased with their
rip that they said that it will not be
7ery long before they will go again.
While at the springs We were 50 for
innate as TO meet our jolly old friend, |
lr. ThGoeene ChachelG, and even his .
most intimate friends would have been
surprised to have seen the Dir. at the |
,alls which took place every night, |
lancing the regular old country dances |
With all the pretty girls.
There were about $50 persons at these |
plings, whose cool and invigorating |
waters were of great benefit to all.
