' am' Chairman MembershiD WARREN GOUTY THIS LIST CONTAINS ALL NAMES OBTAINABLE AND ORDER For the benefit of those who now h-ve their numbers and know about tliD order in which they are likely to be called for examination under the Selective Draft Law it may be stated that the next official move to be made according to the regulations, is: The determination by the Governor of the quotas to be called- and fur nished by the several local boards. Tn Warren County this number is 1S2. Tins will determine how many men from your district must go into thi: service. The possibility of exemp tions will necessitate the examination of two or three times as many men as are. needed. The War Department's bulletin for the information of registrants reads in part : As soon 'as quotas are assigned to each State and each board, each board will call vip m persons whose ?ards are in its jurisdiction instructing them to present themselves for examination. This call will be posted at . the office of the local board and the papers wi'.t be requested to print it. A notice will also be mailed to you, but the posting of the list at the office of the hoard will be deemed sufficient notice to charge you with the duty of present in yourself. The law therefore makes it your duty to inform yourself when you are called. The mailing is for your con venience, but if the letter never reach es you, 3on cannot make that an ex cuse. Watch the lists at the pffice of your board and see when you are called for examination. You must report for physical exam ination on the day named in your call. (a) If you are found physically dis qualified the board will give you a certificate which will explain to you what your further duties are, (b) If you are found physically qualified and file a claim for exemp tion withm seven days after your call you will bo given ten days after filing your claim of exemption to file proof in support of your claim of exemption. (c) If you are found physically qualified and file no claim for exemp tion, or if you do not appear for phy sical examination, your name will be posted to the district board as one who was called for military service and was not exemptied or discharged. On the eighth day after call, or with in two days thereafter, copies of the list of persons so posted to the dis trict boards will be given to the press with a request for publication, will be posted in a place at the office of the local board accessible to the public view, and notice will be mailed to ycu at the address on your registration card. Therefore watch the notices posted in the office of the board about ten days after the day you were called and make arrangements for the prompt receipt of mail. The above instruction from the War Department therefore PUT IT UP TO YOU. 1 258 Geo. Burchett, W. Plains. 2 458 Edward Davis, W. Plains. 3 143G Wm. D. Thornton,Littleton. 4 854 Geo.

(Continued On Last Page) DAY Y ITEMS. The rains around here have been frequent and the mud has appeared as if it was February again. Crops are getting on a heavy coat of weed but look well and promise a fair har vest. Big meeting starts at Shady Grove church near here, we are informed, the 2nd Sunday in August. Mr. R. E. Williams has a fine field of corn planted after clover. Ed is a good farmer as well as Ginner. Mr. D. C. Alston continues to keep under a cloud," and we think he must have met with his "Waterloo of Defeat" upon his last visit to Franklin county, and even now he seems to hear the beating of the waves upon the lonely shores of "St. Helena." The lovely Miss Estelle Williams is visiting in Petersburg this week. Messrs. R. W. Alston and your cor respondent -were invited to a house party near Oxford this week and re gret we could not attend as we both love to "Tote Calico" in tripping the "light fantastic." More food stuffs have been planted in this vicinity than usual, and "hog and hominy" seems to be the slogan. Mr. Lee Williams has "laid by" his "crap" and your correspondent saw a " square on his cotton this a. m. Mr. L. F. Thompson, of Inez, was in town today and looks fat, prosperous and happy. More anon. COMMENDS WATER SYSTEM Mr. J. W. Kellogg, of State Labora tory of Hygiene, Raleigh, was in town laot week. Mr. Kellogg was here making the regular monthly analogy of our town water. While here, he commended highly our water system, stating that it was one of the best small-town sys tems in the state. He stated that aside from the pipey taste in the water that would be prominent on the dead-ends in hot weather, that he thought the system was excellent. STREET WORK The streets in South Warrenton ar? to be improved. This work will com mence as soon as weather permits. The street in front of Dr. W. W. Taylor's is to be widened, and con crete curbing cutter from the end of the bend toward Mayor Palmer's to the curve in front of Mrs. W. A. Bur well's is to be constructed. This will widen the corner, and materially im prove the street. The street will be graded and soiled according to the lines of the new curbing gutter. The same class of work will be built on Main street from Marshall street (the street in front of Mrs. Mattie Miles) to and including the curve at Mrs. Hal Macon's. Work was let to Mr. E. L. Green on competitive bids for 69c. per liniar foot, combined curbing and gutter. MILITARY COMPANY Warrenton is ready to receive Co. H. on tomorrow. Captain Graham, Lieutenants Price and Limer have everything in shape, and are at their posts ready! The company now has over 130 men. and it is hoped that this number may be increased by the addition of sev eral men whose names appear among the first three seventy-five, and who, according to a ruling, may join their local company if they do this before the calledNas issued by t-he Local Ex emption Board. Arrangements have been made to have the men examined here, and this will be done soon. The company will be in Warrenton for about two weeks. Has there in a lifetime been an ap peal to the spirit of adventure in Am erican youth comparable to that now offered by conditions in Europe? New York World. NEW RED CROSS MEMBERS New members secured for the Red Cross during the past few days are: " Capt. W. A. Graham, Miss Nora King, Miss Olivia Burwell.
