BROTHERS MEETAFTER Al YEARS
George and Joseph lnslow. Of Near
Smyrna, Have Been in Search of
Each Other Over Quarter Century

After being separated and each be-
lieving the other dead George /. and
Joseph Inslow, elssped each others
hand for the first time in Al years
Monday of last week. The meeting
of the two brothers occurred at the
home of Mr.. George /. Inslow near
FieldsbOrO. where Joseph who had
searched for his long lost brother for
over a quarter of a century located
him on the farm he now occupies.
lssaac and Mary Inslow who resided
near Laurel. in Sussex County died,
and their children-fOur boys and one
girl-were sent to a home in Phila-
delphia, and later the children were
gotten homes in different localities.
Joseph and George were each placed in
homes in Kent county one at Fred
erica and the other near Smyrna.
After residing there for a short time
George located near Odessa, and for
over half century has resided in
lower New Castle County, where he
married and has raised large family.
At the age of Is Joseph Inslow ran
away from Mr.. Emory the farmer he
resided with and for several years
followed the water. firing of this
life, ne decided TO go west where he
spent Is years as a cowboy. During
all these years he had never learned
of the whereabouts of his three broth
ers and sister. and finally Mr.. Inslow
decided he would locate them. After
making many trips to Delaware and
other States, where he traced them,
he learned that they were all dead
with the exception of George, and
although he was residing within a
few miles of the place where he had
last heard of him, no one seemed to
be able to give him any information
about his brother. Time passed on
and Joseph decided to make one more
effort to locate him, and last week he
met a gentlemen who told him he
thought he knew where his brother
was living, and Joseph lost no time
in locating him. The two brothers
have decided to spend the remainder
of their lives together, and since
Joseph never married, he will make
his home with Mr.. George |. Inslow
near Fieldsboro.

CONDITION OF LOCAL SCHOOLS

Kent County School Commission Re-
ports Their Finding During Recent Visit
The Kent County School Commits
sion of which w. Denney HAZEL Of
this town is a member makes the fol-
lowing report of our local schools
Smyrna, like other large towns, has
well conducted schools. which any
community can well be proud Of. The
spacious grounds were well kept, the
building was we'll attended TO by the
janitor and no suggestions were need
ed.-Smyrna Colored Schools are yet
OvercrOwded, although the State has
just built an additional room to their
building. The old part needs paint
ing and some new furniture could be
used TO advantage. The sanitary
conditions were satisfactory. Bay
View, No. 13O. over looks Bombay
Hook marshes from the mainland. and
the attendance was large when the in
spectiOn was made, yet the room was
clean and attractive under the charge
of Miss Stats. The school is in very
good condition. -Severson's $, No. 6, is
always in good condition and this
time was an exception. Miss Mat
thews keeps the school and the build
ings in good order. .-RaymOnd's, No.
z is under the care of Miss Jones, and
it was in very good condition gener-
ally, with the exception Of the furni-
ture, which should be replaced with
new. -Disches No. Ill, is under the
care of Miss CattersOn, and the dis
trict is in one of the most prosperous
in middle Kent County. There is a
disposition among the people to want
to consolidate with Cheswold and 9th
er districts. so that there is evidently
a lack of interest in the school pro-
perty. The water closets are very
dirty; the coal and wood houses used
in part as a stable for the teachers
horse; the coal and wood is scattered
about the grounds, and the building
needs some repairs and painting in
side and out. The conditions here are
far from what they might be as a
public school. -Cheswold has a good
school building with three depart
ments, and George Herring is prinei-
pal. All evidence points to good
work being done. and the sanitary
conditions are satisfactory. This
school building. like some others in
reesht years got a bad job Of plaster
ing done when il was built. There
afs several leaks in the roof which
should be attended TO at once. .-Bren-
ford has a gOsd building but only FIVE
scholars tc attend school. The room
when inspected was not clean. Mel
sons, No. 49, Is a well conducted
school, and the dssrict is one Of the
best farming communities in the
county. The conditions were very
satisfactory.

Attorney General Wolcott to Move For
Vacation of the Order Granting Il.
On last Saturday Daniel o. Hast
ings and Richard s. Rodney, counsel
for Charles B. NaylOr, who recently
was given new trial for the murder
of Earvil Francis, were notified by
AttOrney-General Josiah o. WOlcott
that he would on May %, when the
Court of Oyer and Terminer convened,
move to vacate the order granting
Naylor new trial. Naylor was con-
victed Of murder in the second degree
and after the verdict by the jury he
moved for new trial and urged as
one of his grounds that he had dis
covered certain new evidence which he
could produce if granted a new trial.
The new evidence, he alleged, consist
ed of testimony that would be given
by his brother, George Naylor. The
court granted him a new trial. be-
cause of such newly-discovered evi-
dence. Since the order granting the
new trial was made. George NaylOr.
the brother, has died. There can.
therefore, be no new evidence pro-
duced by George Naylor The prose-
cution will contend that as the wit
ness relied upon is dead that there
can be no additional evidence produc-
ed and that there is no reason for
retrial Of the case.
