SUPERIORITY OF OILED STREETS.

Speaking of oiled streets, a Monticello paper saysf ‘‘Yesterday clearly demonstrated the superiority of oiling the streets to keep down the dust over t!he oil-fashioned way of sprinkling with water. By 10 KX) o’clock under the influence of the drying wind and hot sun, the water sprinkled streets that were muddy Saturday night were as dry dry as a board, and the dust was flying from them in clouds. On the oiled streets there was no dust and but very little dirt loosened by the wind. Many people have expressed a desire tfhis morning to see every street in the city oiled.’’
