IS HARRISON a DESCENDANT OF rocA-
HoNrAs?


It is popularity believed that Presiden
Harrison is decended from Pocahontas an
from the Parliamentary soldier and regicid
General Thomas Harrison, who was execu
ted in 1000
Pocahantas. daughter Of Powhatan, mani
tested friendiness fer the early white set
tiers Of Virginia when she was but girl
The story Of how she saved the life of Captain
John Smith, who had been capture and con
demned to death by her father-how she, OF
several occasions. made known to the set
tiers their danger when about to be attack
eds well known to all acquainted with the
early history of America. Her subsequent
marriage with John Rolfe, an Englishman-
her removal to England where son was
born, from whom numerous wealthy fatni-
lies of Virginia claim descent-is the basis Of
the opinion that President Harrison is one
of her descendants.
Whether this be true or not it is however,
well-know that President Harrison is a des-
cendant of a noted family, distinguished
alike in peace and war The name of Harri-
son is already indelibly written upon the
pages Of American history, for General VIM.
Henry Harrison-the ninth President Of the
United States-was the grandfather of Gen.
Ben Harrison.
The election ofanother member of the Har-
rison family is but another proof of the pre-
vailing disposition of the public to return to
healthy administration of public affairs so
Characteristic of the earlier years Of govern
ment. A similar desire has been manifested
for a revival of early manners and customs
in many various ways, of which mention in
particular can be made of the prevailing de-
mand for those old time preparations which
were so successfully employed in the preven-
ton and cure of the ills and ailments which
frequented the early long-cabin homes.
After much inquiry and research noted
manufacturer has procured the original
methods used in their preparation and again
under the name of Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies, the public is possessed of those
well-known preparations for the cure of
coughs, colds, consumption in its early
stages, blood disorders, catarrh, dyspepsia
debility, and other common disorders.
Notwithstanding the large amount of
time, attention and expense which the man
ufacture of Warmers Safe Cure demands
its well-known regulations as the only REM
edy for the prevention and cure of kidney
being gworld wide-the manufacturer
is resolved to push the merit of Warmers Log |
Cabin Sarsaparilla to the font because of its
splendid blood purifying properties and great
value as a household remedy and spring time
system renOvator.
Pocahontas, during her lifelong friend |
ship forthe white settlers of Virginia besides
her many acts of kindness, is said to have
contributed much valuable information to |
the log cabin home concerning the successful
employed by the Indians in the /
treatment of disease aud it matters little |
whether the alleged relationship between
herself and the President be true or not for
The name of Pocahontas is already immortal.
