The Pole Tavern Inn at Pittsgrove,
Salem County, is probably n of the
oldest taverns in the state. 1t stands
to-day but little changed in outward
appearance than when, a century and
a half ago, it was the rallying point of
social life of the three lower counties,
it's resounding with laughter If its
guests and its spacious grounds the
scene of many matches of skill in roll
ling the bullet, pitching quoits, shoot
ing birds and other sportsthen in vogue.
The exact date OF the erection of this
building is unknown but records at
Salem show that a license for the inn
was granted in 1740, and it is believed
that the building, as shown, is the
same, with few alterations, that pro-
vided rest and refreshments for the
traveller over $50 years ago. An old
resident of Salem whose recollection
reaches back 70 years states that the
building was seemingly as old then as
it is now, which gives grounds for the
belief.
In the early half of the last century
it was one of the stations on the stage
route from Bridgeton to Camden, and
was then il the height gifts popularity.
In winter it was the objective point for
sleighing parties from all parts o. South
Jersey, and the country dances held
within its walls, with bright checked
lassies swinging the figures to the call
of the village fiddler, are past comput-
ing.
One veteran, who has passed the
four score mark, statesin all his serious
ness that he has seen as many as 20O
sleighs gathered round the tavern yards
but his assertion must be accepted
with the perspective that age some
times brings.
The passing stage coach rang the
death knell of patronage for many
country hotels, but not for the Pole
Tavern Inn. 1t is still the favorite
place for social gatherings. At a grand
OK roast a few years ago three hundred
teams were gathered around the famous
hostelry while the guests were RECALLED
within the building by the Jovlal most
John Ryan. A district meeting O.
Odd Fellows was held in the hotel las,
month and one hundred were seated
in the dining room hall.

Birthday Surprise Party

On Saturday of last week Master
Willie Schell attained the age of six
teen. His parents prepared to give
him a pleasant surprise by inviting
his friends and chums to attend a sur
prise party in honor of the occasion.
AT 8 O'Clock Saturday evening the
guests arrived at the home of Willie,
in the post office building in full force.
He was surprised of course but yet
like all sixteen year old boys he had
a suspicion that something unusual
was going to occur. 1t was a happy
gathering and the hours slipped by all
too rapidly in playing various games.
At a late hour the guests were in
vited to the dining room. After all
were seated at the tables, John N.
Reeve made a very appropriate speech
and presented Master William with a
handsome gold watch, a gift from his
parents. Willie did not know what to
say in reply but nevertheless he was
agreeably surprised. Following this a
collation. of ice cream, cake and lemon
ade was served.
Among the many pretty birthday
gifts received was an Unabridged
Webster's Dictionary, handsomely
bound in leather; a fine fountain pen
with gold bands, a gift from the mem
bers of the Wildwood Coming Men OF
America Lodge, of which he is a mem
Der; writing paper, a shoe polishing
outfit, silver napkin ring, handker-
chiefs and several nicely bound books.
Lastly he received a toy automobile
and a horse and carriage presented to
him in a joke. Several days previous
to his birthday he had been asked to
name something he particularly de-
sired for a present. His answer was
an automobile or a horse and wagon:
he got both.
