AN OPEN QUESTION.


Is Harrison Q Descendant of Pochantas.
 It is pOpularly believed that Presi- dent liar rison is descended from Poca hontas and from the Parliamentary soldier and regicide, General Thomas Harrison, who was Executed in 1860.
 Pocahontas, daughter of Powhatan, manifested frlendliness for the early white settlers of Virginia when she was but girl. The story of how she saved the life of Captain John Smith, who had been captured and condemn ed to death by her father-how she, on several occasions, made known to the settlers their danger when about to be attacked-is we'll known to all acquainted with the early history of America. Her subsequent marriage with John Rolfe, an Englishman-her removal to England where 6 son was born, from whom numerous wealthy families of Virginia claim descent-is the basis of the opinion that Presi- dent Harrison is one of her descend ants.
 Whether this be true or not it is, however, well-known that President Harrison is descendant of a noted family distinguished alike in peace and war. The name of Harrison is already indelibly written upon the pages of American history, for Gen eral Wm. Henry Harrison-thc ninth President of the United States-was tho grandfather of General Ben. liar rison.
 The election of another member of the Harrison family is but another proof ofthe prevailing disposition of the public to return to healthy admin istration of public affairs so charac- teristic of the earlier years of govern ment. A similar desire has been manifested for a revival of early man. ners and customs in many various ways. of which mention in particular can be made of the prevailing demand for those old-time preparations which were so successfully employed in the prevention and cure of the ills and ailments which frequcnted the early log-cabin homes.
 After much inquiry and research noted manufacturer has procured the original methods used in their prep aration and again under the name of Warmers Log Cabin Remedies, the public is possessed of those we'll known preparations for the cure of coughs, colds, consumption in it's early stages, blood disorders, catarrh, dys pepsia, debility, and other common disorders.
 Notwithstanding the large amount of time, attention and expense winch the manufacturer of Warmers Safe Cure demands-its we'll known repu- tation as the only remedy for the pre- vention and cure of kidney diseases being world wide-the manufacturer is resolved to push the merit of War ncr's Log Cabin Sarsaparilla to the front because of its splendid blood purifying properties and great value as household remedy and spring time system renovator.
 Pochahontas, during her lifelong friendship for the white settlers of HS iuiu, uCsluCb uCl mdus hCts Ol kindness, is said to have contributed much valuable information to the log cabin home concerning the successful methods employed by the Indians in the treatment of disease and it mat ters little whether the alleged rela- tionship between herself and the President is true or not for the name of Pochahontas is already immortal.
