He is a son of John H. ALTIZER, a married man and farmer. He will bear with him through life the distinction of being first on the list of the 221 men of this county to make up the draft of half a million men, drawn by the government. It is not known how Mr. ALTIZER regards this distinction, but he should feel proud of it. TAZEWELL BOY ACCEPTS POSITION WITH SOUTHERN Mr. H.M. CHRISTIAN, of POunding Mill, left Lynchburg Monday for Greensville S.C. where he has accepted a position with the Southern Railway Company at a starting salary of $65 per month in addition to board, room and meals. Mr. CHRISTIAN has been attending Piedmont Business College since January 1st and is well qualified to render satisfactory service. THE NEW ARMY The first call to arms has been definitely made to complete the list of 687,000 men for the army of the Republic. The drawing from the list of the registrants of June 5th for the first call, was completed early last Saturday morning in Washington, and the names and numbers in the order drawn, was announced by wire all over the country. The first number drawn was 258. For this county this number was drawn by Mr. Jesse ALTIZER, of Harman, Va. Every man registered was drawn, and will be subject to call in the order in which the drawing took place, the first numbers, as printed in this paper, being subject to the first call. The right to claim exemption is granted to all the men called. The proper blank forms, giving necessary instructions will be furnished by the examining board. The drawing showed some strange happenings. In some instances the numbers came out in bunches, taking two or more from the same family. Early in the drawing, in other instances, long jumps were made. The lowest number in the first draft was the number 6, Mr. Brooks AKERS at Jewell Ridge. Of the men drawn in the first draft 221 men will be selected. The local exemption board, composed of Clerk G.W. GREEVER, Sheriff S.S.F. HARMAN and Dr. P.D. JOHNSON will pass upon each man drawn. This board can exempt a man absolutely only upon one point, that of apparent physical disability. Their report exempting a man who has dependents upon him will have to be passed upon again by the district board, the personnel of which is printed else where in this paper. Industrial exemptions will be passed upon the the district board, also. The plans of the War Department are not thoroughly understood, but from best information abtainable, it is said that the men will be called for examination in numbers of 50, and will be given five days from the time they are cited to appear to present themselves for examination. ---- The clinch Valley News secured a list of numbers and corresponding names early on Saturday morning, and began posting the names. The office and bulletin board was crowded all day by anxious people - some fathers and brothers, and some mothers and sisters and sweethearts, anxious to know whose names were in the list of those drawn for the first draft. Some where glad, others sad, some mad, when their names, or the names of loved ones had been chosen. It began to dawn upon them for the first time that this nation is at war. A number of parents in this town and county have already "fought the battle" or at least its first skirmish. Their boys are already in camp. The "battle" is yet to be fought by anxious families in this and other sections of this great country. Sorrow makes all mankind kin. Before the first draft has been made, and closed, there is talk in official circles in Washington of the second draft, which is said to be scheduled for some date between now and the first of the year. LIST FROM WHICH TAZEWELL MEN WILL BE CHOSEN FOR RESERVE ARMY Tazewell County's Quota is 221, Besides Large Number of Boys Who Have Volunteered and Are Now in Training The following list of about five hundred neames has been compiled from an official report in the New York Times of the first draft. Much difficulty has been encountered in preparting the list, and of course, it cannot be guaranteed to be correct. It is as near correct as we are able to give this week. The numbers are published as they were drawn, and as they are liable to call. Tazewell County will be called upon for 221 men, and twice that number is printed here, provided for exemptions of over 50 percent. The official list has not reached the exemption board here yet from Washington, and consequently no date for assembling the first quota of the men given above has been fixed. The law provides that the men shall be notified at the addresses given on their registration cards, and a list posted at the court house, but the liability is upon the man drafted to find out if his number has been called.
