Sunday a troop train of 400 soldiers passed through Fort Scott, but much to the regret of the soldiers they could not be supplied with apples or other dainties as there were none on hand. Troop trains are supposed to have their own equipment so the canteen is not asked to prepare for them and they depend on the gifts and donations of the citizens to supply the canteen with apples or cash with which to buy treats for the men. This train was on its way from Georgia to Colorado and the ladies hated to disappoint them. The boys appreciate all that is done for them.
