T. Shelton, H. P. Sloan, and E. L. Withers. As Mr. Coble was walking on the side track, the train had pulled up to the station and was backing out, it is supposed that he thought the train was pulling out on the main line, and did not heed the whistle. J. C. Worth ington, employe in the Texas office nearby, saw the danger, and called to Mr. Coble, who evidently was unable to hear for the train. Mr. Worthing ton then called to ehe engineer, who applied the brakes, but it was too late as the body had been struck. Mr. Coble was born in Asheboro and was the son of Manly and Helen Coble. He first came to this section in 1881 and was associated with the late D. M, Killian in business in Clyde. After moving to Waynesville in 1882 he was connected with Smath ers, Killian an Company merchant mills. Later he was associated with the late Chas. E.
