CLUB HOUSES.
The Sportsmen's Retreats Along
the COhansey.

The winding Cohansey presents three
very pretty places-within an easy ride
from Bridgeton. The Sora Gun Club
House, formerly the residence of Col.
Chas. Moorehead is a very roomy and
well appointed house. Nine wealthy
Philadelphians come here to enjoy the
sseL.. .@a.! So~~@r s.E3 @aSass5-
Mr.. and Mrs. Allen Cobb are stationed
at the Sora all the year and keep the
place in good shape. The interior is
finished i'll hardwood and the furnish
ings are extremely comfortable. The
newest books and latest magazines are
always available. They generate their
own gas and the place is well lighted.
Whenever any member of the Club is
staying at he house the flag is hoisted.
If anything could tempt business men
TO forget their cares for a time, surely
this place with its accompanying sport
ought to.
A stones throw away at the very
edge of the creek, Col. Moorehead has
built another residence, not so palatial
but quite as cosy aud comfortable. The
new residence was started for a boat
house, but is now a model dwelling.
The Mooreheads have several fine dogs
and many cats. Mr.. and Mrs. Moore
head are both great gunners and enjoy
the sport to the fullest extent. With
most of the conveniences of their city
home-great enjoyment is found in this
isolated place.
Across the creek may be seen the brick
house on the farm of j. P. Weatherill.
These must be reached by boat or priv
ate conveyance, but the time is no doubt
rapidly approaching when people may
journey from Bridgeton by trolley to
other places than Millville and Port
Norris.
The dollhouse still stands on the Mill
Vile pike and those who wish, pay toll.
The collecting of toll on the Deerileld
pike has been done away with. Three
toll gates do business on the Brldgeton
and Salem pike, at Shiloh, Marlboro
and QuintUn. Poles are being put up
to complete the telephone system be-
tween these places, and the people
eagerly anticipate the appearance OF the
trolley.
The old stage now owned by Thomas
Roork still makes its daily trip and has
plenty of patronage. Times was when
its death knell was sounded, the rapid
running automobiles making four trips
a day. made the stage coach look very
slow, but the people soon found 1t was
sure. The autos are now gone and
almost forgotten, but the old stage con
tiuues on its journey each day and is
appreciated.
The place where the Central h. Il.
crosses the pike near BridgeJon was a
place looked upon with fear by a ma
iorlty of the people for many years. A
rise of ground on each side of the road
prevented the people who were APP,
preaching from seeing the trains and
several lives were lost. This fear has
been remedied by the r. r. company
stationing Edward Tullis at the cross
ing from Z a. m. to Z p. m. Mr.. Tullls
has worked for the Central for Is years,
previous to which he went by water fol
8 years. He lost II of his arms al
Fairton while coupling cars, since
which he has been in the signaling
business at Winslow Junction, Red
Bank and at Bridgeton-ten years al
the latter place. The battery signal is
used to warn him of the approaching
trains, and his flag signals are in regard
to right of way for trains. AT first some
of the people thought the white flag
was for them to cross and at times seri.
Gus complications have risen but Mr.
Tullis understands his business and nc
lives have been lost since he Vas station
ed at the crossing. y. J. B..
