EXEMPTION BOARD BEGINS ITS
SESSIONS.


and DR.. Silas Evans, began it's sit
tings in the Circuit Court room in
the court house Wednesday morning
at eight o'clock, for the purpose of
examining the first ninety-five men
who were listed in the first call un-
der the terms of the drafting act.
The first days work resulted in the
examination of seventy-five young
men, five of whom were discharged as
being physically unfit for service un-
der the requirements of the army
rules. Fourteen of the others claim
ed no exemptions. Most of those who
claimed exemption from service did so
on the ground of having dependents
upon them, in some cases wives, in
others mothers and sisters or aged
and infirmed parents requiring their
care and attention. Others claimed
exemption on the ground that they
were engaged in agricultural pur-
suits, necessary to keeping up the
food supply of the county. All these
cases will be referred to the District
Board for Eastern Kentucky, when it
meets at Lexington.
Seventy-eight men were examin
ed by the Board yesterday, with the
usual large percentage of claims for
exemption along the same line. The
exemption will be resumed to-day.
Below is printed a complete list of
those examined Wednesday and
