For the information of those who registered on June 5th we call attention to the fact that your Precinct Number ia not the one your name will be drawn by in the draft being made in Wish ington City, but the Red Ink Number placed on the assembled cards of the whole count j by the Registration Board will be uad. is therefore important that you have this number fixed in your mind when the draft: ia published so that you may know whether you are drawn or not This paper would gladly pub- ish the list if it were possiblt , but its length-forbids; it is on display, however, at the Clerk of Court's office for your inspection. As soon as the draft is made we will endeavor to publish all numbers, with names, if poisit ble, in this paper, and expect to have this list in time for next week's issue. If it is inconvenient for you to come to the Clerk's office and get your number yourself, it will be a pleasure for me to aid you if you will inclose a self- addressed postal card with your reqaest.
