OILED STREETS A SUCCESS IN CROWN POINT.

Hon. John B. Peterson, the Democratic candidate for Congress. was in Montirello a short time last Mlondav looking after the political situation and getting acquainted with a few of the voters. He- expects to visit us several times during the Campaign when he can stay longer and meet more of the people. Noting the experiments that were being made in oiling the streets of MontieellA Mr. Peterson stated that last summer a number of streets in Crown Point were oiled, and the treatmeht proved so satisfactory that almost the entire city was oiled this season. Their streets are macadam, the same as our principal streets, and the oiling, besides being cheaper than water sprinkling, not only keeps down the dust but preserves the street surface. —White County Democrat.
