Vegetable Wool.

Mr. Maroney, living near here, IS
raising a curiosity in the vegetable
kingdom-at least curiosity in this
section. It is vegetable wool. 1t IS
planted azd cultivated like cotton,
and looks something like it in the
boil; but tie lint is a first-rate coun-
terfeit of sleeps wool. Mr. Maroney
has had sozne of it spun and knit as
an experiment A sample of the lint

From the humboldt journal.
The Missouri Press Association ac
companied by the Springfield silver
cornst band, passed up from an ex
cursion to New Orleans Thursday

There wereabout two hundred editors,

ren to secure all who are yet out from
