Rufus Franklin r
Charmer Unlike Prince
of Fairy book fame, he
ound his beautiful slipper to fit
many fair maidens in the assembly.
All were before the fire cracking
jokes instead of looking in the
ashes, and the Prince looked so
confused when he realized that six
maidens and two married ladies
claimed that the slipper fitted
them exactly, and not only claim¬
ed, but it was a reality, when in
his woe he appealed to Mrs. W. D.
Travis and Mrs. E. 0. Lee to help
him out of his dilemma, which they
did, in awarding the slipper to the
mother of the Prince, believing,
unless they did they might have
trouble, for a mother usually likes
to choose her son’s princess. In a
dainty and fairy-like way, Mrs.
franklin presented the slipper to
Miss Kilgo, the guest of honor.
I he refieshments also carried out
the Cinderalla idea, as the cream
was frozen in pink and white
slippers. 1 ho center piece on the
mahogany table was a large pump¬
kin, in which Cmderalla sat, drawn
by six little mice. Miss Trippe
and her guest were dressed in fairy
like costumes of white crepe de
chinne.
Below is the invitation with
some few of the replies:
Cinderalla lost her shoe at our house,
Before it is devoured by a mouse,
If you don’t mimd it,
Come help find it,
Tuesday afternoon at two
We’ll be expecting you.
To keep your name of being neat,
Look carefully at you feet,
For if by chance the shoe should fit 1
You might be ashamed of it.”
Following are a few of the re¬
plies to the invitation :
Dear Jule:
Tuesday afternoon at two,
I cannot find Cinderella’s shoe;
I have an engagement I cannot brake,
So please excuse me for the fellow’s sake
Sincerely, Alline.
Dearest Loutie and Jule:
’Tis etiquette’s rule
To answer an invitation
The day you receive
You may not believe
The cause your cards belatefion.)
Is Cinderalla in trouble?
So sorry! what a bubble
Over a naughty shoe;
So you want me to find
I’ll surely not mind,
Although I have a boo (beau.)
’Tis interesting I think
To have a Prince sink
And try on your slipper.
Although settled in life,
Already another man’s wife.
But I don’t care a jiffer,
I’ll try on the shoe,
If a promise from you
Is made to protect me.
There’s fun in a jest,
I’ll try the test,
But he cannot caress me.
Oh! I’m too old
For a prince charmer bold
To be placed in this sad situation;
The charmer’d fall back,
With alas! and alack,
The pesky relation,
The slipper’s too small,
Won’t go on at all.
My feet I’ll try to shrink;
Hose with no toes
Shoes with no sole.

A Cinderella Party.
One of the most unique enter¬
tainments ever given in Covington
was the Cinderella party given on
Tuesday afternoon by Miss Jule
Trippe in compliment to her guest
of Miss Edna Kilgo, of Durham,
N. C. The Cinderalla idea was
carried out with exquisite original¬
ity throughout the entire afternoon
Upon the arrival of all the guests
who had been invited inlo the
drawing room, Mrs. Nat. Turner
read to the guests the bright re¬
plies to the bright invitation that
had been sent out, which kept the
crowd laughiug and enjoying the
amatuer wit. Next the guests
were ushered into the Library
where tables were arranged and
Cinderalla Slipper was played and
every one scoring progressed and
those progressing received a dainty
liitle doll slipper, which was tied
to a score card, which had a hand
painted slipper thereon, When
the game was finished the scoie
cards presented a most pleasing
appearance with the dainty little
slippers of various hues dangling
therefrom. The hostess then an¬
nounced that there were hidden a
pair of slippers iu the hail and
diningroom and the successful
finders were to have the first tiiul
to Prince Charmer’s fitting, The
lucky women being Miss Katherine
Butler and Mrs. ILbfc Trip! 11 '
Next came Prince Charmer as n
he had just stepped from the won
derful fairy dance, in knee trousers
and buckles, who proved none

Now what do you think,
A woman once wed,
Has her way ’tis said,
And I’ll try this rhyme,
To humor the fun,
And make the air hum,
And be there on time;
So expect me at two,
Kind sisters adieu,
Your bad Caroline (H. G.)
My Dear Jule:
With pleasure I’ll go to the Castle Grand
With a merry heart and a ready hand
To search for the dainty missing shoe
That Cinderella lost on a visit to you.
The slipper, I fear, will be hard to find,
For Cinderella was of that unusual (?)kind,
To “step pretty high” when she had the
chance,
And she led that night a merry dance.
When she went to the German she made
many mashes—
But you know the story better than I,
So I bid thee, dear Jule, with love good
bye. —Flora Carr,
Fairy Land, Nov. 12, '06.
Dear Miss Jule:
So Cinderella you say has lost lost her
shoe,
And is feeling very, very blue,
And you have invited a crowd to look
In every corner, crevice and nook,
And see if they can anywhere find
The dear little slipper to ease her mind.
I for one will be glad to go’
And will do whatever I can to show
How sorry I feel for the little maid
Whose slipper is lost, stolen or strayed.
Sincerely. Annie McCalla.

THE CLARK BANKING CO.
COVINGTON, GA.
Solicits the Business and Accounts of Farmers
and Business Men.
Why Farmers Should Keep a Bank Account
Farmers, as a rule, keep no book of accounts. Their bank deposit book
affords them a complete record of their cash receipts, while the stubs of the
check book are a perfect record of expenses and payments. Paying a laborer, a
store account, or any other bill with a bank check is much safer than with
money; because the person receiving the check must endorse it, and the check
being returned to the maker by the bank, can be preserved as a receipt, hfoney
deposited in a bank is not so easily and so often “fooled away” as when carried
around in one’s pocket, farmers: Try the experiment for one year of keeping
a bank account and see if it does not pay you. A large number of the best
farmers have accounts with us.
We are desirous of having farmers’ accounts, even though small; for in this
locality, where mixed farming is preached and practiced, their accounts are sure
to grow larger.
