COBLE, aged about 23 years.  The deceased was a member of the Methodist Protestant church, Randolph circuit, North Carolina district, and had only been in Texas about twelve months.  In the bloom of manhood he left his numerous friends and acquaintances to dwell in a strange land, among strangers; but, alas! the time was short!
