LIVING SIGN is BOAST
OF LINCOLNSHIRE TOWN
Beehive in Ancient Elm Still
Stands Before Tavern

At Grantham. in Lincolnshire, the
curious old signpost of a Beehive is
still in use. Probably no other town
in England possesses a living sign,
says the London Globe. In the
branches of a very ancient elm tree
opposite the tavern is a beehive, and
the bees swarm and work as indus
triously as they did in the far away
days when 1T was first put up. Under
the beehive are the following lines:
Two wonders, Grantham, now are
thine.
The highest spire and a living sign.''
The full lines, written by local
poet, are, according to Country and
Town, as follows:
Stop. traveller. stop; this wondrous
sign explore,
And say, when thou hast viewed it
DER and DER,
Grantham, two rareties are thine
A lofty steeple and a living sign"
