BURIAL OF ADA BUCkNER

The remains of Ada Buckner, the I'M
fortunate girl who was murdered Fri
day morning, were laid to rest in Smith
x Roberts cemetery, on the north side
of town Sunday afternoon.
The services took place IN Covenant
Baptist church. of which the murdered
girl was member. The attendance was
large and the pastor made a most i'm
pressiye address. The caSket was ac-
companied by six young women, all of
whom bore beautiful floral tributes TO
their dead friend
y great many people, not a few of
them white, visited the establishment
of Keller & Co, Saturday, to view the
remains. The undertaker's skill had
removed all signs of the last struggle,
and the dead woman lay in her coffin
looking as natural as though asleep.
Florida TOOley, a cOlored girl who
was close friend of Ada Buckner. told
scenes she had been a witness TO when
living with Ada, and when McCracken
had abused and threa tened to kill her
if she did not return to him He seems
to have made her existence a night
mare of terror the last few months of
her life.
All who knew her. white and colored.
say she was a smart, industrious and
Well behaved girl, and did not in the
least deserve her fate.
Her mother, Louise Lindsey, has
been removed to her own home near
the market, and will recover unless
complications set in.

COMING THIS TINE, SURE

\ colored nurse from Ocala went to
Jacksonville a few days ago and upon
her return stated that she read in a
paper up there this story which she
believed and proceeded to pass along
with con~iierabI success.
y baby was born there, and four
hours afterwards spake and told its
mother that it would die in eight hours
and that eight hours later, she, its
mother would also die, that in eight
days it would begin TO rain and would
rain eight days and nights and that
on the morning of the ninth day the
judgement day would come. The young
prophet never spoke again, and it and
its mother were gathered to Abraham's
bosom on schedule time. Also, it be-
gan to rain And as four days and
nights of the rain has already been
consumed the prophecy is moving
along and it behooves you all to begin
to get good.

CO., WILL
ADOPT THE CASH SYSTEM

We have adopted the Cash System
at our store. The laws of our State
protect the person who wants TO beat
his grocer, and discriminate against
the merchant. Under this system the
good customers have TO pay for the
debts Of the bad ones There are
number of people about the country
who beat the grocers, in spite of all
they can do They put up plausible
story and get credit and do not pay.
In the long run the good. steady pay
ing customer has 10 pay for these bad
debts, for they are an expense Of the
business 1t is, therefore fair 10 all. 10
sell only for cash We will do business
in future on a strict cash basis. We
will be able I sell you groceries a.
closer prices, for We will get pay for
all we sell We appreciate the trade
of all our customers, and are doing this
to protect them "a well a ourselves
When YOU get accustomed to the new
system We know you will like ii.

HE CHEATED THE HANGNAN

Hugh McCracken, who murdered Ada
Buckner, badly wounded her mother
and then shot himself died in the hos
pital Sunday evening, having never re-
gained consciousness after he sent a
bullet through his head at 4:30 Friday
morning.
1t is wonderful that he lived so long.
One of the bullets he fired into himself
went clear through his brain: the other
went into his body but an inch or two
from his heart.
The body was turned over to V. B.
Keller & Co. who prepared it for in
terment. The funeral will take place
at his mothers home near Shady to-
morrow.
McCracken was a smart and indus
trious man, and evidently had an idol
|atrous love for Ada Buckner. although
he had at least one other wife living
when he married her. His ungOvern-
able temper ruined both their lives and
brought them to an untimely end.

DINNER PARTY
FOR MISS LUCY JARMAN

One Of the most enjoyable events of
the summer season was the dinner
given Saturday evening by Misses Cliff
ford and Katherine Pyles at Glen
hurst" the beautiful home of their
parents. Capt. and Mrs. 5 r Pyles,
five miles south Of the city.
Miss Lucy Jarnan. OF jacksonville
\. c. was the honoree at this elegant
affair Invited TO meet her were Misses
Tommie Stanley. of Gainesville, Ga.
Ethel Haycraft, Bertha Sandlin. Hester
Dewey and Rose Bud Robinson and
Messrs. Julian Bullock, Wiley Burford.
Sam pyles, Julius Brown. Leslie Ander-
son, William Jarman. olaf Zewadski.
and Fred Meffert
The table was most attractive in its
appointments of exquisite china. cut
glass ana silver. In The center was a
bouquet Of MAGNIFICENT Duchess roses.
grown in Mrs Pyle>' flower garden.
MINIS. olives anF salted almonds were
laid for sixteen. The place cards were
dainty and Appropriate.
\ six course dinner was most tempt
ingly served. While all these good
things for the inner man were being
enjoyed, the bright wit and quick
repartee of the clever hostesses and
their happy guests made the house re-
sound with merriment and the hours
pass quite rapidly.
After the dinner the young people
repaired to the parlor where music, on
piano and violin, games and sparkling
conservation added other pleasures to
this gay and merry party.
Misses PyleS, though young in years.
are perfect in the art of making their
guests enjoy every moment spent in
their lovely home and on this occasion
they were agreeably assisted by their
parents, Capt. and Mrs. Pyles and their
sister, Miss Ophelia Sawtelle.

Croesus was the richest man OF his
day, but what CrOeSuS didn't have was
a plenty in the way of everyday COM
fort. When warm weather came, the
only way CrOesus had of being cool
and keeping flies off his august per-
son was to have himself famed by a
pretty girl with a bunch of peacock
feathers, and this kept him constantly
in trouble with his wife. Later-day
magnates had themselves famed by
Ethiopian slaves, who cost a thousand
dollars apiece, beside, on a hot day, an
Ethiopian tanning vigorously, and with
nobody to fan him, had an onion patch
faded. Nowadays, a millionaire or a
man of moderate means, a king or a
four-spOt, has only to go to Watterson
Tucker and invest a few plunks in an
electric fan, couple il to the city
plant and the thing IS done. You can
sit up with it as late as you please
and your wife won't quarrel and it
costs less to run it all day than to
feed a healthy slave one meal. Croe
Sus and Pharaoh, and all those other
gay old boys had nothing on us, and
an eleven-dollar fan Will dig as much
GOODNESS out of the air for an impe-
cunious editor as it will for Johndee

Some of our friends are finding fault
with the Star because there was no
mention of the churches in the Illus
trated Industrial Edition. The edition
was in the hands of a number of gen
tlemen who solicited for advertising,
and very naturally they didn't think
of going to any church for an adver-
tisement. If the pastor or leading mem
Der Of any church had applied to the
business manager of the paper for APP
propriate space for his church. he might
have had it without money and without
price. 1t was more in their province
to think of it than it was in ours The
churches of Ocala have never been re-
fused space in the Star for any of their
work, and it isn't appropriate for any
one to find fault with us for not offer
ing what they might have had for the
asking.
