The names of all registrants in the county, and their num bers given them w r ere filed in the court house Monday morning, and many of the men consulted the list to find out the number assig ned them. At noon Tuesday the drawing was held in Wash ington, when capsules con taining numbers up to 9000 were mixed in a bowl ai\d then drawn out, one at a time. The order in which each number w r as drawn determined the order in which the men having that number would be called to one year off?military ser vice. The number 158 was drawn first, and the 65,000, draft boards throughout the nation assigned the ser ial number 1 to all those holding this number. In Yancey county Clifford Deyton of Burnsville Rt. 1 was the one who had been -numbered Js§, and he be came the first on the list who will be called up for examination by the local board at a future date. Out of the first 319 numbers called out, there were only 55 from Yancey county since the highest number registered was 1736.
