States Attorney Thomas l.. Daw-
SON and other officials of Montgomery
county feel that should the two al
legged bandits be brought to Rock
Vile. the enragcd citizens would mob
the Jail and take the law In their own
hands. IL was openly stated on the
night that the robbers looted the
bank and killed Mr.. HalIoweli. one
OF the best-known citizens of the
county. that IL the bandits were cap
tured they would be lynched!
As a precaution against any yio-
lence. states Attorney Dawson has
requested the Baltimore 'poItec to
keep Adams and Irish Patsy, IN the
jail there until date OF their trial.
Adams was brought TO Baltimore
from Philadelphia yesterday He sd-
mitted to detectives last night that
he knew OF the desperate characters
who turned the Sandy Spring trick"
but denied he was ever at the place.

often up till midnight, looking after
telegraph dispatches and getting
them printed, and then up again at
8 o'clock in the morning, delivering
the paper to its subscribers.
But the daily paper venture proved
to be a disastrous one, and for some
time the family had to live very
cheaply in the country, their home
being a log cabin. Young Howells,
however. soon found employment as a
printer, his first engagement being
for 81 week. Afterward, when his
father became established in a print
ing office again, the son worked for
him, but all the time he continued
cultivating his talent for literature,
especially for poetry.
He would set up his poems in type
and read them in print. He read and
studied and wrote continually. His
little desk and bookcase were near a
window under a stairway, and he said
in later years that he had never a
for literary work.
Poem In Atlantic Monthly.
BY and by he sent his poems to pa
pers and magazines. Some were
printed in his fathers paper, but most
of his poems were rejected" One of
these early poems, however, was ac-
cCpted by Lowell for publication in
the Atlantic Monthly. That was in
1858. when Howells was twenty -onc
years of age. Two years later, with
John j. Platt, he published a joint
volume OF verse. This, Howells said,
became instantly and lastingly un.
known TO fame" He afterward frank
ly admitted that he did not possess
the true poets, gift.
For two winters--from 1858 to 1860
he resided at Columbus and acted as
correspondent for several outside
newspapers. He was then offered a
position as city editor OF a Cincinnati
paper But "ono nights round with
the reporters at the police station
satisfied me-" he said later, "that ]
was not meant for that kind of
work"
He was then offered a place as news
editor Of the state journal of Column
bus and accepted the position. In that
position he gave his prime attention
10 the literary notices and book re-
views. II was at that time that he
wrote his campaign" life OF Lincoln.
The writing OF this Life OF in-
coin" wps. the turning point in How
ellis life. In the frst place IT brought
him money enough TO make trip
to Boston by way OF Niagara Falls
and Montreal. In Boston he made
the personal acquaintance OF Lowell,
Holmes and other eminent literary
people and got fully in touch with tho
best literary ideals OF the time. In

COUNTY FAIR HUGE SUCCESS.

The Atlantic County Agricultural
Fair held 1t Egg Harbor City under
the auspices of the Atlantic County
Board of Agriculture cooperating with
the Egg Harbor Chamber of Commerce
goes down in history as the most sue
cessful fair ever held in the county.
One of the most attractive features vas
the splendid poultry show conducted
in connection with the fair. This ex-
hibit far surpassed anything that has
ever before been attempted in the coun-
" in the number of entries, the variety
Of breeds and excellent quality of the
birds. To the county board of agricul-
ture the most gratifying feature was
the deep interest manifested by poul-
try growers from every section Of this
county and Cumberland County, and
the evident desire for closer co-opera-
ton among the poultrymen of these
two counties. The only regretable
thing was the fact that there were
more applicants than could be accom-
modated and some Of the last minute
entries had to be turned away.
Too much cannot be said in COM
mendation of the attitude of the New
Brunswick Experiment Station toward
this show. The support received from
the Station did much to make it such
a big success.

ABSECON HIGHLANDS.

The Picnic and Dance given by the
Grange on Labor Day was very sue
cessfully managed and the large at
tendance seemed to thoroughly enjoy
themselves. The music by the jolly
Five from Egg Harbor was a feature
of the day. The Prize waltz and prize
bowling and shooting contests were
other big features. The next event
will be a Halloween Masquerade and
Dance, Saturday, Oct. 80. We under
stand the same good musicians will
be engaged.
There will be II new applicants for
membership to be voted upon at the
next Grange meeting, Oct. 8. A large
attendance is requested; there are
many important business features to
come up, S all members will please
take notice.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Burns and Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel E.. Crowley recently
motored to Philadelphia in Mr.. w.
Burns new sedan. They had a pleas
ant trip.
The last luncheon of the Larkins
Club was very pleasantly conducted
and the large membership were agree
ably entertained by Mrs. Killian.
The new Highland Dramatic Club
will present a four-aet western drama
entitled "a Klondike Claim, under the
direction of Mrs. Carrie Stanley Burns.
The play will be given about Thanks
giving week. Rehearsal will commence
next week.
The new short route to Philadelphia
via Piney Road TO Jim Leeds Road.
thence to Deer street and on to Egg
Harbor is in good condition and
miles shorter than any other detour
for autoists and others.
The Absecon Highlands Dairy Asso
citation is meeting with unprecedented
success, and they look forward to
greater and greater results in the neal
future.
The Grange store, at its last meeting
of the Directors, declared a very sub

HUR'P AM PAY!

If the label on your paper doesn't
read 1920 or better, you're behind on
your subscription to The P~leasantville
Press and should hasten to square up.
With the cost of print paper up in the
clouds and still soaring, it's a desper-
ate task to furnish a fairly u%p-to-date
newspaper for $3.50 a year even when
all pay up promptly, and when there
are laggards on the list the task be-
comes well nigh hopeless. Dear sub
scriber, don't lag. You may miss your
best friend some day.

HELP THE LEGION BOYS!

The boys of Mainland Post, Ameri-
can Legion, have established them
selves in their headquarters over the
Strand Theatre. They have large,
comfortable quarters, and are gradual
ly building themselves into a strong
organization by reaching out and TAX
ing into membership all the local boys
who served in the recent World War.
To maintain. suitable quarters, howey-
er, requires money. The boys have
hit upon the plan of having dances in
their hall to defray these expenses.
In order to cut down as much as pos
sible the expense for these dances,
they have expressed a desire for a
photograph, on which could be pro-
duced the late dance selections, there
by eliminating the expense of an or
chestra. The P~leasantville Press
stands ready at all times to aid these
boys who did so much for our people,
and ave will gladly receive and ac-
knowledge subscriptions for this pur-
pose. The total expense will not eX-
coed $175. Surely, the people of Pleas
antville are willing to contribute that
much for SO worthy a cause. BY the
casual mention of the fact that we
were willing to use columns to
help the boys in securing the phono-
graph, the editor has already secured
several contributions. Send in your
check for this worthy cause to the
editor, and when the fund is completed
We will furnish the list of subscribers
to the Post, and we are sure you will
receive their grateful appreciation.
