Canteen Work.

The Rockingham ladies served
10 troop trains at the Canteen at
Hamlet Saturday. The day be-
ing cool, strong hot coffee was
served one train of thirsty boys
from a Texas camp. John Dock
cry had donated $50 cantaloupes,
and these were served another
train. Chewing gum, postal
cards, cigarettes etc were served
another. Magazines another and
so on. One train was filled with
Indian troops, and one with
colored; aud of course these trains
received the same treatment the
white soldier trains received.
Sunday over a dozen troop
trains passed. Monday six, Tues
day eight.
Here is a splendid opportunity
for farmers and others to help by
donating melons and any kind of
fruit they may have.
1t makes a soldier-lad feel
mighty good to be served with
something at these Canteens. 1t
shows visibly to them that the
people on the outside are behind
them with their very hearts and
souls.
An instance of the apprecia-
ton of the soldiers occurred
Saturday. So pleased were
they that they had been served
so we'll that the troops in one car
insisted upon taking up a collec-
ton, amounting to S4.95, and pre-
senting it to the Red Cross Can
teen. This fund will of course
be used IN providing things for
other soldiers.
Mrs. B. F. Palmer had in her
garden a dozen thousand
sweet potato slips; she had
no use for them, and felt that it
was pity for them to be wasted,
when some one else might be
glad to plant them. And so she
informed the editor of this fact.
And that accounts for the five
line notice that appeared in our
last issue advising the public
that free slips could be obtained
by calling at the Post.Dispatch
office. In response to this, by &C.
tual count 81 applicants were re-
ceived, and given slips. And so
grateful was one young lad for
the slips that he insisted on giving
Mrs. Palmer fifty cents, saying
that if she wouldn't accept pay
then to give it to the Canteen
work of the Red Cross; and she of
course gladly did this.
Only three troop trains passed
Hamlet today, two being with
colored troops. A train from
Sewer is expected at midnight
tonight, and possibly some
Richmond county boys will be
on it. The Rockingham Canteen
ladies have prepared an
abundance of fried chicken to
serve this midnight train.
