Monon Has Decided Not to Oil Streets This Summer.

Monon News. What we want here in Monon this year is dust, and therefore we do not want oiled streets. We have tried the oil two seasons and found it a sure protection from dust. Therefore in order to have dust again, we have decided not to use oil. The only way we can account for this singular choice is the prevailing depression of business and a general feeling that we might as well be entirely miserable as only partially so. In the language of the Rook: Monon, dust thou art, and to dust shalt thou return.
