Zenor's plurality 1870.
The above shows a remarkable
increase in the Democratic vote in
this district-Mr. Zenor carrying
every county in the district but Or
ange, while two years ago he lost
four of the counties, and the ma
jorties are this year generally larg-
er in the counties, and the vote on
the State ticket increased over 2 900
compared with two years ago. This
was accomplished by earnest work
and good organization, for which
Adam Heimberger, Of New Albany,
and w. 4. Cox, of this county, de-
serves the thanks of the Democracy
Of the State generally and of the Sd
dirtrict particularly.
In the beginning Of the canvass,
Mr.. Cox, as chairman Of the dis.
trict committee, visited every
county in the district, and some Of
them twice, to assist in thorough
and harmonious Democratic organ
ization for work, and this was KEEP
up until the election, the various
county committees in most OF thu
counties working enthusiasticall y
and iudiciously for the entire tick
ct, and burying all personal choice
for the general success. Mr.. Coz
expected to visit each county sew
eral times, but in the middle 0
the canvass he was taken sick, ant
confined to his room for weeks
He, however, from his bed dictate,
between 5000 and 4;OOJ letters
and sent them to active worker
and friends at many precinct
through the district, urging the ne
cessity OF active and unceasinI
work for success, and the result
showed the effect of such worl
throughout the district. II tn
other congressional districts ha'
done as well Indiana would hav
been Democratic and Senator Tur
pie would have been his own sue
cessor. The result in this distric
shows Mr.. Cox to be what hi
friends asserted in the district con
vention when he was chosen chair
mana clear headed, thorough or
ganizer, competent and willing t
work in any emergency for the goo'
OF his country and democracy. Tn
COURIER predicts that he has
bright future before him If he re
tains his health.

THE DANCE AT BlLLWLLE.

We had dance at Billville, at the widows, on
the Bend,
An we wished the halleluiah time would never
never endI
Fer never heard sich music as they made tine
fddles play.
We formed the sets at sundown an we danced
till break o. dayl
Never wuz sich quadrilles, nor music halr as
sweet
As that which made the rafters ring TO al eiio
dancin feet
The mayor he whirled the widow rouno' an
brethren, things looked blue,
Fer the widow wuz so heavy that sne broke
the floor in twol
Then in comes Sally Jinkins-she weighed two
hundred poun-
An when the colonel swung her she shook the
shingles down.
But all wuz life an laughter, the dancin still
went on;
We sashayed TO the halfway When the parlor
floor wuz gonel
'Twuz acolne in, Sister Sally" an aDon't stay
out, Miss Loul''
An "Here's rosy pardner that's maxim eyes
at youl"
An "oh, Miss Betsy Jinkins, you're mighty
sweet to see,
An hope you'll give the pleasure of the next
quadrille to me!''
Oh, well, no use in talkin, we danced from left
to rightl
We didn't mind the snowfakes that pelted us
that night.
All that we had agin it wuz dancin stopped at
day,
Fer if they d left US to ourselves we'd danced

Trading is very quiet after the holidays, but
the volume is much better than usual at this
period of the year. and the outlook for the new
year is very promising all along the line. Grain

sharp advances all around. Ii was more re-
suit of increasing trade than OF news, outsiders
being rominent in all markets. At Chicago
the Wheat market wss very strong and prices
advanced 1s4c, and Corn about the same. Oats
added "a c to the previous figures, while provis-
ions closed from l to 35c higher. The market
here is fairly active and higher. We quote Lard

Coffees are firmer and Zee up. Teas steady but
firm Molasses rather easy in tone. ugar quiet

choice turkeys well cleaned up. but there ap-

right. The other hurried on down and
into the store, two numbers from the cor
ner of Congress. Where's the man that's
been standing around here in the snow
with no hat and in thin elothes?" he cried.
The clerk behind the counter answered,
"Don't know, unless that's he" And he
waved toward the sidewalk. The officer
of the Humane society went back out into
the snow. Yes, there stood the man,
bareheaded and with outstretched palms.
He was papier mache effigy of a Quaker
in the garb of the sect that had once been
used to advertise a certain brand of cigar,
but had been showed outdoors on account
of the lack of standing room for him in

nc Cure Creaky Shoes.

"Cheap shoes are not necessarily of poor
material" Z" said a shoe store clerk.
"Creaking often accounts for the low
price. Cheap double soled shoes nearly
always creak, and the reason is that the
two soles do not quite fit or one is of more
piiaple material than the other, SO that
1hey run against each other. Among the
remedies usually tried is soaking the shoe
IN water or OIL This is effective for a
time, put the cure is only temporary. The
creak invariably returns in few DAYS.
however, there Is one certain and simple
remedy. 1t Is to drive three little wooden
pegs into the sole. The pegs prevent the
friction OF the soies. Any cobbler will do
it for you for 10 cents, and SO not only re-
store your own peace of mind, but also
that of your friends. New York S,r,
