for some time. Their many friends

ing them success in their new home
among the best people on earth.
In reading the Herald the writer
noted the railroads are buying up the
coal land in Marion county. This
brings to our minds a little history.
Seventeen years ago the writer was a
justice of the peace in Knoxville
township, Marion county, at FlagIer,
working for the Whitebreast Coal
company, who operated the mines at
that place. One morning while go
ing to work in June we were called
out of the car in which we were riding
to our work in the mines by MrBooth.
On going to him we were informed
we were wanted to go with Mr.. Keb-
Ter, a, representative of the coal COM
pany, to the country to take some
acknowledgements for coal options.
All things being ready, a start was
made in a two-horse buggy. While
on this trip the writer travelled from
Knoxville to Charlton, a distance of
thirty miles, looking at the coal land
and taking some options around Cos
port and Dallas. l remember well of
waiting at the entrance of coal mine
near Dallas for the owner to come out
of the mine so we could talk to him.
Finally he came, with a grey hoVe
hitched to a car of coal. The horse
was at least sixteen hands high and
would weigh fifteen hundred pounds
or more. The coal at this place was
seven feet high. We found a men,
Der of the local mines on the route
of the same kind of coal. At this
time S. H. Mallory Of Charlton con.
templated putting a railroad from
Charlton to Knoxville. He died and
the project fell through. So the
above territory has been lying idle
from that day to the present time.
The lamented Morgan Thomas, a well
known Mahaska county miner from
Muchakinock, was then state mine iIc
spector. While on his rounds he
made our house his headquarters.
He and the writer often talked of the
vast acreage of coal being worked out
in Keokuk and Mahaska counties. He
then said Marion and Monroe coun-
| ties were destined to be two Of the
leading coal counties Of Iowa. Our
friend has gone to his future reward
number Of years ago. The writer
is travelling on towards the three
score milestone on the journey of life
and he is still here to see the words
of our friend coming true daily.
