The Fayetteville News. February 22, 1907
Miss Clifford Burks, evening at "Hearts" last Friday was a delightful success. 
The color motif of red was carried out in decorations and every detail.  The 
parlor was beautifully decorated with bamboo, red carnations and red hearts 
galore.  After the guests arrived each one was given a white paper heart, with 
a red pencil attached and requested to write an original valentine in verse.  
These were, of course, very amusing--some very poetic and sentimental and some 
quite the opposite.  Messrs. R. E. Church and J. B. Edwards tied for the prize, 
a beautiful handpainted hodak, Mr. Edwards drawing it.  Afterwards, progressive 
hearts was played, the score cards being heart-shaped valentines.  In this game 
Messrs. D. B. Blalock and J. W. Wis-tied for the first prize, a heart shaped 
box of bonbons, Mr. Wise cutting it.  Mr. R. E. Church won the booby, a comic 
valentine.  After most delicious refreshments were served, each guest was given 
a nut to crack, in which was found his or her fortune.  Little Miss Jewell 
Burks, wearing a dainty lingerie frock, in white, with red sash, shoes and hair 
ribbons, presided at the punch bowl, which was served throughout the evening.  
Those present were Misses Kate Cousins, Claude, Emily and Neel Graham, Hazel 
Alexander, Lois Brown, Mamie and Clifford Burks, (can't read one line - looks 
like Mr. and Mrs. Hollingsworth and Mr. and Mrs. A. ? Huie and Goodwin Barnes, 
of Riverdale,) D. B. Blalock, of Jonesboro, Jno. A. Burch, of Inman, J. B. 
Edwards, R. E. Church?, J. W. Wise, C. D. Redwine and Dr. E. C. Seawright.
