If O JUS D HANDS NAMES AND OFFICIAL DRAFT NUMBERS OF HALIFAX MEN BETWEEN 21 AND 31 APPEAR ON INSIDE PAGES 'OF THIS ISSUE. COPIES SHOULD BE SAVED FOR REFERENCE The Commonwealth has no hesitation in stating that the pub lication of the entire list of Halifax county's available young men, to be found in the. inside pages, of this issue is of wide spread in terest, and is an effort to accommodate the people o fthis com munity that should not be forgotten y ' The mechanical force of the Commonwealth is due from the citizens suitable appreciation in working night and day for three days to get this information into the hands of the people, and The Commonwealth has not missed a single issue, or been late with paper, in order, to do so This work is entirely patriotic as The Commonwealth will not receive a cent for the work of getting this list published, but on the other hand it has been a very costly work to this paper. It will be noted that the list has been revised by The Com monwealth, fro mthe way it was prepared by the county board, as it was found that by putting all the men in Scotland Neck, or Halifax, or Roanoke Rapids, or Enfield, or other towns together, re gardless of consecutive number, and having a subhead of the towns the names would be more easily found, arid, if there be any who have not registered from any locality, it would be far easier to trace them than by having the names scattered through twenty four columns . ; The list will be found on page two, carried forward to page AM.
