Paola Republican: The paper festival
given by the Methodist ladies IN Paola
Opera House was a pleasant affair for all
who participated, yielding good financial
results for the church, although the eX-
tremely cold weather prevented the at
tendance being as large as it otherwise
would have been. The paper flowers
were perfect gems of beauty, rivalling
nature in the lOVeliness of her perfection,
and displaying great skill on the part of
the ladies who made them. The Meth
Odist folks understand, too, the art Of
preparing a good dinner and lots of it,
and this occasion was no exception.

sic was excellent and well adapted to the
occasion, and the TecitatiOns by Maggie
McCreight and Daisy Needham was very
pleasing.
