E. Malone, of the local draft) board, aseertained that the Franklin County Local Draft Board was among the first in the state to" complete its preliminary work of numbering registration cards and posMng lists of regis trants. The Board is now waiting official Master Lists from Wash ington before assigning order numbers and mailing question aires. The mailing of questionaires will probably begin the first of next week. Registrants are to fill out> these questionaires and re turn to the Local Board within five days, the five days beginning on the day after mailing such questionaires. An Advisory Board is being formed in tiie County to render assistance to registrants who are unable to prepare ques tionaires. It is not necessary, at this time, for any registrant to know his serial number as his questionaire will be mailed him in due order. The only thing necessary for the registrant to do between now and the receipt of his questionaire is, in the event- he has changed his address, to notify the Local Hoard ? of this change. Mr. Joseph T. Inscoe, has been appointed a member of the Board to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Dickens. Mr. Inscoe is one of Franklin Coun ty's most prominent' and popular citizens, who enjoys the confid ence of tlie entire County, and we feel sure he will add confld- I ence to the. Board. Judge Hamilton Hobgood lias . been recommended as Chairman \ of the Franklin County Advisory Board. It is understood he will select the other members of his | hoard whose duty will be to assist the registrants in executing their (juestionairus and rendering such other assistance as may become necessary. The selection Is a splendid one. Judge Hobgood is fully qualified to render this valuable service. LOUISBURG BAPTIST CHURCH The pastor Dr. A.
