NEW CASTLE, Del, Nov 1S.-
There is decided movement here to
have a monument erected to the
memory of George Read and Thomas
Mexican. New Castle people feel
proud of the memory of these signers
of the Declaration of Independence.
Recently when a tablet was erected
in Emmanuel Episcopal Church to
the memory Of Richard Halliwell the
question OF honoring the memory Of
Read and Mexican was taken up.
While George Read had been allied
with the Episcopal Church yet those
who suggest the idea of the monu-
ment say that it will be best to have
Reads memory kept alive by having
the memorial unveiled on July T. 1t
would be a great lesson for the school
children and they could be invited
TO participate in the exercises and
more opportune time could not be
selected than during the term of
Office of Mayor Richard S. Rodney,
descendant of George Read. Thomas
Mexican, another signer of the Dec
laration of Independence, was con-
nected with New Castle. Therefore
New Castle people IN all probability
will take up the matter and will call
a public meeting to decide upon the
form of the memorial.
In st. Peters Church tomorrow af-
ternoon the new stations of the cross
will be blessed at 4 o'clock.

Everybody has stopped telling
stories about the car Of the Delaware
City line. Much Inconvenience Is
caused to the people in that town
because the automobile service is not
regular. Nearly every afternoon and
evening a private automobile or a
double team is put into service so the
people do not have TO stay in either
town over night The service will
be more tangled than ever next week
when the cars to Wilmington go or
the hour run after . o'clock.
