A salc-of coal land was consumated
last week, which in extent and value
has not been equalled by any single
transaction insihis State for many a
day. The transaction is none other
than the sale Of 10000 acres Of coal
land lying mostly in Fayette and part
~ in Raleigh counties. tits known as
the McKell lands. 1t is part of the
New river coal field and the quality Of
the coal to be secured therefrom is said
to equal that from which the famous
Connellsville coke is made. The price
paid for the land was 100000, and
the purchase was made for Drexel,
Morgan GO, who are supposed to
represent the Vanderbilts. There is

Soap Creek seventeen miles. 1t will

The Oldest Married Couple,

We havein our office copy Of the
Iron Era of April 29th, published
at Dover, Morris county, New Jer-
sey. 1t contains an item, beaded
as above, about the relatives of
some of our townspeople, which
we copy.
The venerable David Cooper and
his wife, who live near Franklin,
upon the farm on which Mr.. Coop
er was born and has resided all his
life, are undoubtedly the oldest
married couple in Morris county,
and the parents of one Of the most
remarkable families Mr.. Cooper
was born Dec. Sth, 1901, and his
wife, Anna S. Ayres, was born Nov.
18th, 1903. They were married in
Feb, 1928, and should they live
less than a year will celebrate their
seventeen wedding anniversary. A
family of twelve children were born
to them, and eleven of them are
still alive. OF these there are Mary
E., wife of James Scott, of Dayton,
New, Lydia, wife of Congressman
Bartine, of Carson, New, and Silas
Edwin, of Dayton, New. The age
of Silas, the youngest, is 43, and
the ages of the eleven living chill
dren aggregate over 600 years. The
aged parents are still well preserved
for their years.

Let lis Celebrate.

A little over a month now and
the glorious Fourth will have to be
celebrated. Every year many Day
tonites go either to Carson or Vir-
ginia City to spend this holiday.
This year we would like to see a
celebration in Dayton. There is
no reason why we cannot have Just
as good, if not better time at
home than abroad. The band has
been reorganized, so we could have
music; horrible" procession
could be arranged; we could have
a base ball game, horse-race or
two, footracing, and in the evening
fireworks. The supply of liquor in
town is abundant and of a fair
quality, so there is no necessity for
any body to leave town to buy a
jag" But, in all seriousness, let
us have a celebration of our own
this Fourth and spend our money
at home. Let every man and boy
consider himself a committee of
one to think Of some one thing to
make up day of it.
