CREOLE No. 9-THEY ExcuRsH.-We knew
when the brave Creole boys started out on
their excursion that good time was in store
for themselves and guests. From the moment
the cars of the New Orleans and Mobile train
started in motion the excursionists commenced
their hilarity, and it was kept up until their
return.
After arriving at Biloxi and receiving the ben
eft of heavy shower the line of march was
taken up for the we'll known Hole-in-the-
Wall, where Mrs. Smith dispensed those hos
pitalities for which this hostelrie is noted.
Notwithstanding the unpropitious weather.
the boys determined to enjoy their short va
cation from duty, and parties We're made up
for small excursions in the neighborhood.
The first day passed off with the usual
amount of jollity and the citizens endeavored
to render the short stay Of No. 8 as happy as
possible. After enjoying thoroughly the trip
and entering fully in the sport the company
took up their homeward march after stay of
two days. To say that the excursion was
success would be saying but little, as every one
on reaching this city was full of individual
experiences of the trip.
The witty wife of a noted practicing physi-
clan advised her husband to keep away from
the funerals OF his patients, as it looked too
much like tailor carrying home his own
