twill not be understood that the ordinary

:, 1t is presumed that no pains win be spared
on the part Of the citizens of every town to ef-
feet o just and equitable enrolment. The act
of enrolling men is comparatively an easy one,
but to make o proper correction of the list,
needs the cooperation Of every man, in fur fur
warding to the Examining Boards, all who are
pot considered liable to military duty. ru-
1t is the interest of every sub-district, wheth-
er liable or exempt, to assist in perfecting the
enrolment, which will be the basis of all ftl-
ture quotas of the State. The greater the list
OF enrolled men, the greater the quota
the the eb eees n ct stco true e se
est and duty of all loyal citizens to see that
every man who owes duty to the Government
Is placed properly upon the list. ...
/ Claims for exemptions on account of alien
age over age and non-residence, &C.. must be
established by evidence that is reliable and ac-
ceptable to the Board, and in the event of en-
rollment Of men having previously moved from
nected Herewith from leading citizens will be
required, before the names of such men can be
strick from the rolls.
Deputy Provost Marshals will be enabled to
compare the enrolment lists of sub-districts
with the poll list thereof. It will be made
their duty to post up such lists at the voting
places Of sub -districts calling upon the citi-
zens to suggest any further corrections that
may have been overlooked or neglected.
No man should wait for visit from the En-
rolling Officer but should seek such officer, to
have his name placed upon record. A timely
effort on the part of every individual interested
in the success of Government is expected for
his own as we'll as public interest.
