Leave Here On July 20.

The local Exemption Board for Ma

structions from the State Adjutant to

colored men in this class in the last
lot of men to register in June of this
year.
The work of selecting these twenty
eight men will be taken up by the To-

celebration will be given these men
by the colored people of the city as
this is the first squad of colored Sc

Arrangements are being made at
Ripley to remove the Ripley wharf
boat to this place to be installed here

hardly possible that this will be done.

RIPLEY Is SHIPPING POINT FOR
NASHVILLE

For many years Maysville has been
the shipping point for many nearby
towns off the railroad but it is I'M
derstood that Maysville now is using
Ripley as a shipping point. Since the
anti-shipping law went into effect in
Kentucky it is impossible for the
thirsty to have their liquor shipped in
for personal use but it is said that
some of the shrewd ones have made
Ripley their shipping point and that
wet goods delivered there by express
is brought here by the thirsty who
take the trip to Ripley by auto or
buggy. It's coming pretty high I'M
der these arrangements but there are
those who must have it.

YOUNG WOMEN ASKED
TO LEARN NURSING
Mason Comfy Is Not Called Upon to
Furnish Nurses But Young WO-
men VIII BE Asked to Learn
For Any Emergency.

Although the governments call for
volunteer nurses does not affect Ma
son county, those interested in nurs-
ing here will endeavor to interest
young women in all parts of the coun-
ty to learn nursing as a profession
and offer themselves to their nation to
do the best they can in home hospi-
tails.
Some time ago canvass of the
state was made and all counties hav-
ing less than ten registered nurses
were exempted from the calls from
the government. Mason county has
but about six registered nurses and
they were all exempted from army
service and furnished with arm bands
bearing the words Special Service"
The government feels that where
there are so few nurses in a county,
they should remain at home and look
after those left behind while in coun-
ties where there are more than ten
registered nurses a part of them are
expected to offer their services to
their country.
Led by Miss Annie NJ. Casey a cam
paign will be started to get the large
number of young ladies in the county
who can spare the time to take spe-
cial home training in nursing so that
they may be equipped for any emerg-
ency that may arise.
