PEST VICTIMS LIE THERE Grave of Five Who Died of Smallpox In 1811 Found In Bellerica, Mass. Closely adjoining the site of the Boston & Maine car shops in Billerica, the surveyors discovered a gravestone marking the spot where 100 years ago five persons, victims of smallpox, were buried. The stone is still in good condition, although mossy with age» The foot stone as well as the headstone is giving evidence of careful work og<the part of the ones who placed it there. The grave was evidently chosen a ' century ago as, a secluded spot, and ■ when found trees, underbrush and i shrubbery nearly hid it from sight The words on this headstone are: Erected in memory of and to designate the place where Asa Grost, Jr., Levi Frost, Eleanor Farmer, Sarah | Hodgman and Samuel Batchelder were buried, who died of smallpox. August, 1811. » At first the Boston & Maine considered getting the consent of the state to remove the stone and the dust of the bodies, but it has been decided to let the grave remain where it is. So these five persons will rest where they are and their bed of the last century will not be disturbed. No relative of the ones burled seem at all concerned about the grave and it Is doubtful if any descendants of them are living in Billerica or Lowell at the present time. SOME ODDITIES IN SIGNS They Do Not Mean Just What They Say, but Certainly Attract Attention. "Teeth extracted while you wait,” is the rather superfluous announcement of a dentist; while another advertiser appeals to ladies in this seductive manner: “Ladies having old feathers can be re-dyed and made equal to new.” Equally open to misconstruction are the following notices: “All gloves in this window 50c per pair. These won’t last long at the price.” “Dine here once, and you’ll never dine anywhere else;” and "A competent person wanted to undertake the sale of a new medicine that will prove highly lucrative to the undertaker." But perhaps the best of these ambiguous advertisements is that of a Japanese laundry, which runs thus: “Contrary to our opposite company, we will most cleanly and carefully cheap prices as follows: Ladies, $3 per 100; gentlemen, |1.50 per 100. After these one reads without a shock such notices as the following: Under a pair of hob-nailed boots — “Unwearable, S3;’’ in the window of a small store in Portland —“New milk,” and on a card immediately underneath —“our own make.” Goods and Goods. At the approach of the angel with the flaming swprd Adam bent upon Eve a glance of profound consternation. 0 “We are caught,” he exclaimed, “with the goods on!” “Not dry goods, at all events!” gig. gled the first mother, nervously, as with a consciousness that it was too late for a bon mot, however clever, to save the situation.—Fuck.

Switzer, barber shop; Lester Bordner, cigar store and pool room; Albert Bailey, restaurant add grocery; Wm. Dull, meat market; Modern Woodmen lodge room and an empty room.
