PROF. j. c. coRBlN.
The Last Of the corbin Family Died
Suddenly in Pine Bluff, Ark.


Suddenly in Pine Bluff, Ark.
Prof. Joseph e. Corbin, an uncle
OF the Adams Bros, publisher of The
Appeal, was found dead in his bed
on last Monday morning, in Pine Bluff,
Ark
Prof. Corbin is the last of the Cor
bin family of Cincinnati, Ohio, where
for many years they resided, held in
the highest esteem by all who knew
them.
The parents of Prof. Corbin were
Mr.. and Mrs. William Corbin and their
children, who reached maturity were:
Margaret Charlotte, Susan, Belle,
Elizabeth, Mary, Lucy, Joseph, John
and Henry
The family was second to none in
the Queen City in point of moral
worth, education, general ability,
pleasing appearance and personality.
This was a Christian family of the
Baptist persuasion and the husbands
of Margaret, Belle, Susan and Mary
were Baptist, preachers. All were
teachers at some period of their lives.
Several were clever vocalists and mu-
sicians.
Prof. j. G. Corbin was profound
scholar; he was graduate of Athens
college, Ohio, and prepared himself,
while teaching in Louisville, KY, to
enter college and completed the four
years course in three years.
He was clerk in the Third National
Bank OF Cincinnati during the civil
war and was drafted, but he was held
in such high esteem by the officials
of the bank that they furnished sub
stitute for him. ~
John Corbin served as a private in
the civil war in one of the Ohio regi-
ments that first answered the call for
volunteers. He and Henry died DUR
ing yellow fever scourge in Algiers,
La.
Henry was private secretary for
Gov. P. B.. S. Pinchback and acted as
manager of the Louisianian which
Pinchback published in New Orleans.
Prof. J. c. Corbin went to Arkansas
in the latter part of the sixties and
for time was city editor of the Daily
Republican of Little Rock Subse-

Both the officers and the crews of the older

SELECTING Applea


Particular apples demand particular
places. 1t is a curious fact that out
of all the many varieties we have to
select from there are only a very few
that will do very well, that will bring
out the very best qualities of their
fruit on any one farm. We find that
the regulations of all our leading fruit
districts have been built up largely on
the success of one variety. Take the
Gravenstein; 1t has probably done
more for the reputation Of the An

other apple. And SO Hubbardston in
