SMITH & SMITH OPTOMETRISTS Dr. Frank Crane Says— NO NEED TO SEND THE DEVIL TO MARKET In a brochure recently got out at Antioch college, Ohio, reference is made lo the custom of the old-time Shakers, who generally observed the laws of Christian brotherhood, of sending their most unscrupulous mem bers out into the world to do their trading. Hence originated the saying that the Shakers always sent the devil to market.

SPROLES (Editorial, Greenwood Index-Journal) “As it must to all men Death has come to A. J. Sproles. After weeks of pain and suffering he passed away early this morning. And though the passing means rest and relief to a body long weary with pain it means sorrow and grief to the community which loved and esteemed him so high ly, because it will miss so keenly his presence so full of interest in others and so loyal to all that was good and uplifting in its life. “It will matter little to him now what we may say about his life and services but it will be good for all of 1 us to acknowledge publicly the debt which the community owes to him for his life and services, his example of civic responsibility, and his patience and courage under any and all circum stances. . “Every citizen who knows anything at all about this city knows how de voted to and how competent Mr. Sproles was in the task entrusted to him, of active management of the city’s water and light plant.
