SILVER RUN ROAD

Levy Court Commissioners, Lynn,
Mealey, Megginson, Armstrong, Chand.
Ter, Elliott, and Willis met at the Silver
Run Road yesterday morning about II
o'clock to examine into the condition Of
the road and to ascertain, if the old
river bank conid be rebuilt as guard to
the road, at a less actual cost than to
sheathe the road with oak planking as
proposed by Commissioner Armstrong.
They we're met at the road by several
of the property owners along the Run,
who are, of course, interested in the re-
building of the banks. A thorough ex-
animation of the road was made and all
were impressed with the necessity of
doing something. Mr.. Armstrong show
ed the other members the 'three men
stone" abutments and explained why
they were missing but not to the satisfac-
ton of all Of them. After going over the
road, the party drove to the river shore
and saw the remains of the old banks,
and listened to the propositions of the
land owners. While the men present
were not authorized to speak for all of
the owners, still they were of the opin-
ion that at least one-half the expense of
rebuilding the bank would be borne by
the interested party, if the County would
pay the balance. The statement was
made that contractor had offered to
rebuild the bank for S., 900. No conclu
sion was reached by the Levy Court.
After the inspection, the majority of the
Commissioners drove to Delaware City,
passing in review the st. Augustine Road,
and also the County work between Port
Penn and Delaware City. It is expected
that decision Of the question will be
made next Tuesday.

ODESSA, DEL, May 24th, 1901.
| One Of the greatest shocks that thi
community has ever known was causet
| by the news received on Saturday tha
William A. Rhodes, Jr., of this town
had died suddenly and unexpectedly al
the German Hospital in Philadelphia O.
pneumonia. Mr.. Rhodes was born al
Odessa in 1852 and had lived here all his
life. He was educated at the public
schools, and when only nineteen years Of
age engaged in the mercantile trade and
by close attention to business his efforts
had been repaid with well merited
success
Mr.. Rhodes was prominent in the affairs
of his town and community, and will be
sadly missed by those of us who knew
him all our lives. He was generous to a
fault and numbered as his friends all
those who knew him. He was an ardent
Republican and had been for several
years a member of the Republican
County Committee.
Expressions of sorrow and regret have
been heard on all sides since the an
nouncement of his sudden and untimely
death, and the members of his family
have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community. No greater manifestation of
the friendship which all who knew him
felt for him could be offered, than was
evidenced by the large attendance at his
funeral on Tuesday.
Death is at all times sad, and we can
not bear to part with those whose allotted
time on earth has reached the four score
years, or four score years and ten. But
how much harder when it comes to those
who have just reached the prime of life,
when "Manhood's sun is yet within the
morning, and the shadows still are fall
ing toward the West"
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. William o.. Hurst and Rev. L. E.
Barrett. Interment was made in the NJ
E. Cemetery beside his little daughter,
Helen, who died of diptheria little over
a year ago. He leaves widow and one
child.
