ASSESSOR FONTENOT
GIVEN A SURPRISE
Crowd of Friends Come Upon
Him Suddenly to Do Away
With His Melons.

Tuesday a crowd OF several
prominent men of this city
figured the best manner in
which they could spring a sur
prise upon Mr.. Darius Fontenot,
the popular assessor of this par
ish, without his knowing it, and
going to his beautiful home for
the purpose of doing away with
about fifty large luscious water
melons, which he had stored un-
der his home, about two miles
and a half from this city. MI.
Felix Chachere took the head of
the surprise party and when
everything was in readiness he
was nforme e d t h a t the
boys had no way to go out to
Fontenot's. t h i s Immediately
put Mr.. Chachere wise, and wish
ing to go the limit with the joke,
he espied the assessor down the
street and going to him, said:
Darius, would you mind lend
ing me your wagon this evening
after | leave from work; | would
like to get some small trees
brought to my homer" Of
course, good-natured as he is,
Mr.. Fontenot replied, Sure,
and | will send you my driver,
also.
AT about eight o'clock the
same wagon-Mr. Fontenot's
own Wagon-was filled w t h
young men, principally the base
ball boys and several of the
prominent politicians here, which
made the first stop at Budd's
saloon. where some beer was
purchased for which, by the
way, Mr.. Fontenot will have to
pay-and the crowd left in a
splendid mood for the pretty lit
tie country home a short dis
lance from the corporate limits.
The first Mr.. and Mrs. Fonte-
not knew of the invaders was
when they could hear masculine
voices down the road making
every imaginable noise possible
and attempting to sing some Of
the latest songs.
When thirty some odd men ar
rived at the Fontenot home they
were royalty received, and Mr..
Fontenot being informed the OBJ
ject of his friends visit, he i'm
mediately began to cut the mel
ons. 1t did not take long for
about fifty of these to be consum-
ed. and after having a jolly good
time, the crowd returned to the
city.
