What We Inherit

We are not to blame for We cannot be
held responsible for the dispositions and
tendencies which we derive from our an
cestors, nor are we responsible for the
germs of disease which may manifest
themselves in our blood as heritage
from former generations. But we are
responsible if we allow these germs to
develop in serious diseases which will
impair our usefulness and destroy our
happiness. We are responsible if we
transmit to our descendants the disease
germs which it is possible for us to Grad
icate by the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
the one true blood purifier. This fnedi-
cine has power to make rich, red blood
and establish perfect health in place of
disease

just as our paper is nearly ready for
the press we are informed of the marriage
in st. Johns Episcopal Church, in
Knoxville, Tennessee, May 1lth, of Miss
Rebecca Lambright, daughter of Mr..
George Lambright, merchant of that city
and former citizen of this town, and
granddaughter of Maj. Geo. w. Hears,
ley, to Mr.. Daniel Mowbray Chambliss,
of Knoxville. Rev. DR.. Samuel Ring
gold, rector, officiated. Mr.. g. B. Hears
ley, uncle of the bride, WAS one of the
four ushers. The maid of honor was
Miss Mary Lambright, sister of the bride,
and the bridesmaids were Misses Susie
Lillard and Jennie Lambright. The
beautiful bride approached the altar on
the arm of her father. Her gown was
of white organdie, over white silk, trim
med with lace and she carried in her
hand white prayer book. The maid OF
honor and bridesmaid, were prettily
gowned and carried boquets of beautiful
roses. The Knoxville Tribune says !:
''The bride is beautiful blonde, rather
above the medium height and her bright
winsome disposition has always made her
favorite among her large circle OF
friends, who rejoice that they are not to
lose her from among their circle, but that
she and her husband will remain resi-.
dents of this city. Mr.. Chambliss, the
groom, is one of the best known and most
popular young business men of the CITY,

aunt of the bride, and are the subjects of

As the representative of the United
States in Cuba, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee has,
as we were sure he would, proven him
self eninently the right man in the right
place, and has received high encomiums
of praise on all sides. The Washington
Star, which soon after the Inauguration
of Mr.. Mckinley suggested that a wise
and popular decision on the part of the
new Executive would be to keep General
Lee at his post in Havana, in an editor

Senator Faulkner, says a Washington
special to the Wheeling Register. now has
athdavits from about all the parties con-
cerned showing that the charge on which
Stephen Poe was removed from the post
mastership at Grafton, w. Va, that of en-
gaging in a prize fight was without any
other foundation than that Mr.. Poe en-
gagged in a burlesque set-to with the gloves
with a friend, the occasion being the first
in which Mr.. Poe ever put boxing gloves
on. The whole affair was a joke, and
was so understood by all concerned.
Armed with these affidavits Senator
Faulkner believes he can convince the
Senate postoffice committee that the
Postmaster Generals action in removing
Mr.. Poe on the ground alleged was an
unjust reflection on the latter's character
and that therefore Mr.. Holt, who was
nominated to succeed him, should not be
confirmed. The Senator believes the
real reason for Mr. Poe's removal was
his Democracy and the desire of the Re,
publicans to get control of the Grafton
postofTice. The Senator will have nc
objection if the administration admits
frankly that it removed Mr.. Poe because
he is Democrat.

at the Washington Navy Yard to chief
clerk in the Quartermaster's Office, Uni

ton is very gratifying to both Mr.. Trail
and friends, especially in view of the fact
that it was made solely on merit and eff

been gradually promoted up to his pres
ent position, which is the highest within
