No man is better known and liked in that rich tier of Illinois counties, of which Peoria is the centre, than genial Chester 5. Harrington, of Princcvil1e, Ill.
 MT. Harrington is a veteran of the late war. Like many another brave soldier, he suffered not only during that service, but for years afterwards from diseases con- tracted then.
 For years his health was shattered; his safferinss increased. He was unable to gain relief, bat now he tells story which is of profit to manYs
 "I served three years in the t24th Ti- nois, enlisting at Kewanee, Ill.," said he. "I was in Libby Prison and suffered like many another Northern soldier.

FAIR BUILDINGS
DANBURY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY HAS ACCEPTED PLANS FOR BUILDINGS TO REPLACE THOSE BURNED.

The Danbury Agriculturl society has
 accepted plans for the buildings which
 are to replace those destr )yed by fire on
 the night of the 21st of last October, and
 the work of erecting them will be com menced early in the sprir g. The build
 irgs will be spacious enough to afford
 ample room for exhibits in all the de-
 psrSments and will be arranged with an
 eye to beauty as well as convenience.
 The first building to strike the eye on
 entering the g -ounds from the trolley
 entrance will be the administration
 building, where the Cffice of the fair Cffi-
 cials will be located. This building
 which is to be 27 by 66 feet, will be two
 stories in height and the entrance to the main building to which it will be joined will be thought it; that +, the lower
 story will be in two sections to afford 8
 passage way while the second story will be connected and will form an arch bt =
 meath which the people will pass. Two tower,, the tops of which will be 50 feet from the ground, VII surmount this
 building. The main building will be in
 somewhat the shape of a horseshoe, will
 have an extreme length from point to point, of $50 feet and VII have 8 front
 aga of POS feet at the toe of the horse, shoe. One oF jaction to the arrangement of the old building was that is was cut \ up into a number of aisies and some of
 the stands were more desirable than
 others. This objection will be entirely done away with in the new building as there be but one aisle IS feet in width ex- tending the whole 'pgth of the building and conse quently every stand will be or
 the main aisle. The main building vii have an elevation of 20 feet and will have au area of about 10000 square feet O floor space. The light will be obtained from a continuous row of sash on bott sides of the building extending dowi sl five feet from the roof. Over 3,25 square feet of glass will be used in thi building alone. There will be five CD frances to this bull lipg from the out . side, the main entrance being, as state : above, though the administration build 5 ing, one on each of the other octago

SHELTON SENDS THE TRAMPs TO JAIL.
 Last Monday morning there were nine tramps before the town court for vagran- cy. Eight of them were sent to Bridge port for 30 days and costs. Two of them plead guilty and all were looking for work. In view of the inclement and cold weather and the heavy snow storm the court was lenient with them and sent them where they could work and have comfortable lodging place until the win ter is past.
 THE SALOONS TURN OUT DIVIDENDS.
 In row in the principal saloon of the place one man had his jaw broken and teeth knocked out, and had to be taken to the hospital.
 MT and Mrs James Gosling celebrated the 25th anniversary of their marriage, last week, Saturday evening. The superintendent and some of the employees of the new silk factory are al- ready here. The cold weather delays work on the building.
 $. G. Redshaw of Derby is to move his paper box factory-to the postal card building of the Derby Paper Mills Go.

IS DRUNKENNESS THE NORMAL CONDITION
 OF LIFE?

After all, who knows for certain that drunkenness is not the normal condition of life, and soberness & mean, cowardly state of society? How can we be sure that it was not meant that in these last day people should learn tU live by drink ing Instead of by eating! May 1t not be that we have not yet discovered the true method of this mundane sphere? The vol Id has been 80 slow to believe In new things, so 10th to give up the wcrn out customs, so persistent in unscientific and unreasonable methods of living that who can safely assert that man may not devel- op into purely drinking animal, capabl of the highest conditions of being only in a state of intoxicstion?
 To be sure the drlnk habit is extrava- gant. Such concentrated refreshments as wine, beer, whiskey and brandy are vayy costly, but what of that! If 1t is the proper thing, if the progress and per lection of the race depend upon our hay ing liquid food and stimulation we shall have 1t. Nothing is too costly or extrav. agant that is necessary to bring man on his way toward his high destiny. We may have to eat bread and beef, or pork and potatoes for awhile yet, but how much more refined 1t would be if we could drink sll the nourishment we need from goblets of glass sparkling with life giving nectar from the still and the vat
 Of course there are some serious draw backs to this grand scheme of bibulou' system of subsistence, but ali new thing meet with opposition and difficulties, ant 1t has always been me rs or less danger ous to tell the truth. The butchers bakers and groceIs will, of course, SC up great howl against the whole plal and theory. Self-interest is alway standing in the way of great ideas, an prejudice is always intolerance to tn worlds progress. No doubt some gros natures would always prefer solid foo and insist on filling themselves wit boiled dinners, pies, buildings and cake'
 Again, is is a fact that drink as it | used at present does not agree entirel with most men. It makes them red the face, they become bloated and blea ed, they get shakey in the legs, violen \ sltroubled in mind, and have to go to ti KeeleY Cure. But that may be becau - they do not drink enough, or depend tc
 much upon other stuff taken into u z lsystem, It may be due to the mix'
 condition of lie. We may alto, to ce
 tain extent, be In 8 transition stage , deyelopment,-no quite ready yet to Ii
 by drink alone.
