drinks. One which has been proposed,
but which will long remain in the pro-
posal state, was that pipe line be run
from Wilmington to this town, having at
frequent intervals a funnel at which the

States District Attorney. He was a MEM
Der of the Constitutional Convention of

fitting that the Bar of Sussex county ex-
press its regard and respect for the de-
ceased and their appreciation of his ser

gard and respect for Judge Spruance

Inselfish services and courageous activi-
les as citizen, his application, thorough
less and exhaustive treatment of every
egal question considered by him as
awyer, and his great appreciation, ex-
llted admiration, love and sound knowl-
.dge of the Law and the ethics of his
his dignity, oourtliness, fair
less and earnestness of purpose in ad-
justice as a Judge, have not
'nly placed him among the great lawyers,
nut established his right to be considered
ne of the good and great judges of this
tate. That by his distinguished career
e has exemplified the finest traditions OF
he Bench and Bar. and his life and de-
otion to every duty as man, citizen,
lwyer or Judge is worthy of emulation by
II men; be it further
Resolved, That these Resolutions be
to the Courts of this county and
