The Biloxi mercial Club cat a
meeting held Monday night adopted
resolutions requesting the l.. II N.srail'
road TO change the hour OF return 0i
the Sunday excursion train back 10 the
former hour. six O'Clock, instead OF |. as
now. at five o'clock. This resolulipn
will meet with hearty eEdorsemept4si
Ocean Springs, where the disad vantage
of the present schedule Is felt with
great force. Under the existing sclied-
ule visitors to Ocean Springs scarcely
have time to get their dinner before they
are compelled to return TO the train. Nod
there is no doubt that many will hot
come to Biloxi or Ocean Springs SIMPLY
on account OF the short lime they are
permitted to stay. A schedule bring,
ing the excursion to this place at II 80
and returning at $50 or 600 O'Clock
would be far more satisfactory 10 The
people Of this locality.
