If there is one town in the country without at least one oitixen who imagines that he knows all about perpetual motion we should like to have the name.

'How is our enormous national debt to be paid This is a question which has been talked about by almost everybody, and taxed the great minds ef tbe American people for 3 ears. Thousands of different plans have been proposed only to be rejected "as impracticable, bnt at last the problem is solved, and it is so simple that our "groat minds" as usual, entirely overlooked it. Here it is: Let every man, woman, and child, in the United States, reduce their expenses at home, and the way to do this is to buy your goods of live business men. Tbe people in this section of the country seem to think that for choice groceries and all kinds of fruit and country produce, there is no better place to carry out this idea than at R. W.. Rippetoe's White Front Grocery, No. 155 Main street. And we guess the people are right. At least a largo portion of the community are doing so, because of the excellence of his goods, the low prices and the general spirit of accommodation.

But it wasn't one of those handsome caps you see in Stoner's window, hut one of Stoner's elegant Spring hats with which the yonng man had just crowned himself.
