RED CROSS CANTEEN SERVICE.

Every one at the Union Station from
the highest officials to the humblest
car cleaners and oilers, show their in
terest in the work being done by the
Red Cross Canteen Service, and in
every possible way lend helping hand
and prove their appreciation of the
splendi dassistance shown our men as
they pass through Nashville,
Miss Emma Ramsey who is employ
ed at the station, is always deeply in
terested in the coming of the troop
trains and in many ways she helps
the members of the Canteen Service,
going about her work in quiet and
capable manned. When trains bearing
cOlored soldiers stop in Nashville,
Miss Ramsey is sure to be on hand and
ready to lend her aid in looking after
the comfort of the soldiers. She goes
among the men, and with kindness and
dignity, greets them and cheers them
on their way. She helps them with
their mail, their post cards and letters,
and when after the train has pulled
out she looks over the mail, which
she has gathered from the men for
mailing out, if she finds a letter or
card without a stamp, she from her
own purse furnishes the money neces-
sary for the postage. More than one
dollar has this good woman spent from
her own earnings and many letter
reaches its destination because of her
unfailing kindness and generosity.
Sunday last was no day for rest for
the Canteen Workers. Six train loads
of troops passing through there
troops wkere several trains of col
ored soldiers and Miss Ramsey worked
hard all day. The Soldiers were very
appreciative for what was being done
for them and this encouraged the
workers greatly.
