Our contribtors when writing articles
for our paper will please consider four
thing*; first, am I right? second, is it
the acting ol a proper spirit? third,
what good will it or will it not
<lo more harm than good? fourth, have
1 mastered the situation? It is an
easy matter to correct one’s language
in regard to news aud tacts; but we
will never, nor can it be done, take
upon ourselves the position of chang
ing one’s ideas and notions, Above
all exclude personal matter; and ii any
person o* community lias any contro
versy nr difficulty to settle remember,
that the newspaper is not the place to
settle it. We would rather give space
jn our paper for some to defame and
Jibelize Christianity and everything
that has a tendency to laise man high
er in any respect or defend somethihg
ot an eposite tendency and effect, than
it> give jt to some one to defend the
fofmer and ccnsnre the latter, or rath
er one that acts it. Teach and act
what is right—Keep to the right ami
all will go well at last. The subject
is too bioad and long to comment far
ther.
Mark M. Pomeroy will begin tlie
publication of a campaign illustrated
weekly, United States Democrat, the
first week of this month, in New York
City. Jt is cheap and no doubt will
be full ot interest—we are tempted to
say extravagance if nothing else. Toil
theie are many acts of a criminal na*
ture, ofjhe Republican party, that
can never be depicted in too glowing
colors or strongly censured.

CONSIDERATION.
BIBLE QUESTIONS ANSWER
ED, etc.
For The Times.
Twilight hour, while shadows gather
O'er tho wonry earth to-night,
Thou art dearer than tho sunshine,”
Dearer than the morning light,,
to those who during the hours of sun
shins have little time to rest, or think
calmly of anything; but after the day’s
work is over, it is sweet to lest and
watch
Twilight' draw her sable mantle round,
And pin it with a golden star”;
or, with the telescope of memory pierce
the blank lying between the present
and tho past; yet a feeling of sadness
will often creep info olir hearts, while
thinking of some pleasant scenes, to
hear the frog near by repeat “gone, for
ever gone!” But, oh! I have no time
for musing jnst now—wish I had.
For a good while I have been want
ing to help you thank Dr. Kussay for
his generous support of our paper. I
often wish we had many more such
men in Dade; if we had, wouldn’t our
Times flourish like a “green Bay tree”
But it is thriving; if is a success, and
we are very proud of it. “I move”
that we raise a subsciiption and send
the Times a few months to some of
those men who are too penurions to pay
for it; just to let them experience for
one time the feelings of a liberal
heaited man, while he reads his own
papier. I know of two such stingy
men. I wish their friends, if they have
any, would send them a few copies,
llow funv! Ed. L. Sutton’s think
ing our A. J. T. pne of the “lords of
creation”, when so many men forget
their “sweet-hearts” in lese time than
two years; though, we do thank you
for writing, and hope you will write
again; we like every one that loves
Dade and her Times.
What has become of Z. Z.? guess
ho has fallen into that “big ditch” he
dug sonic time ago; come out again.
You like problcms.now you and
“Trenton school boy solve this one:
“From six take nine from nine take
ten. From forty take fifty, and six
remain,,. I don’t like anything that
appertains to mathematics; and regret
now that 1 have spent so many pre
cious hours of my life forcing over
“Euclid’s” circles, triangles &c.; so
don’t give me any more in return fer

don’t yon write? J thougt you was the
best friend oi* paper had at R. F.,
but Von have failed top it appears.
Well A. J. T. I will tiy and an
swer yout questions. 1 don’t think we
have any evidence in the Bible of Pre-
Adamite. The sacred history, as
written by Moses, assures us that
Adam snd Eve were the first persons
created on earth: see Gen. ii. 7. Our
Savior con fumes this, when he said
“From the beg tiling of creation, God
made them male and female”, Mark
x. 6, It is undeniable, that He refers
to Adam and Eve, because in the next
verse He uses the same Words, as those
in Gen. ii. 24. It is also clear from
Gen. iii. 20., where it is said that,
“Adam called his wife's name Eve,
becaus ahe was the mother of all liv-
ing'\
The Nicolaitans were heritics, who
assvmed the name from Nicholas, ol
Antioch, a Gentile l>y birth, who first
embraced dadaism and then Christian
ity; when his zeal and devotion reco
mend him to the Church at Jerusalem
by which he was chosen one of the
first deacons. Many of the primitive
writers believed that Nicholas was the
occasion rather than the imthor of the
infamous practices of tlioeo who as
sumed his name, and who were ex
pressly condemed by the Spirit of God
Rcr.ii. G. They alio:veil a commu

Editor 'limkh:— A very threatening
cyclone passed over this country last
ednesday, and did considerable dam
age in parts of the country. The haj!
beat down some of tlie small grain
and com. Wo have self-binding
reapers whioli work with success.
Owners of threshers are preparing for
work. lowa, generally, has the finest
crop it has had in four years.
A great deal of interest is taken in
Stock raising in this cruntry. Calves
are taken from the cows very early and
fed. Cattle commonly weigh 1,200
pounds: the largest I have seen weigh
ed 2,400. The average weight of lings
is, 450 lbs , the largest I haw seen 700.
Average weight of horses 1,500, the
largest, 2,000.
The letter from Ed. L Sijtton, was
very interesting, ard there are others
like Ed., would like to see all sign
their real names to their aiticlcs.
\A here is .) P>. Cagle that lie could
give ns a letter? or the Deer Head
writer? Has he become entangled in
politics? Well, Igo to the P. O. to
get my 1 j.-jiis with just as much plca
snip, on if it was to meet an old friend
I noticed the article specially; headed
Profanity. A person who can not
s‘op tTie habit ought to come out here
for there are so many infidels who
piaoticc it so much he certainly won Id
have an abhorrence of *t. There are
more here than any place I was ever
at.
Political excitement as the election
nears becomes more intense. r I he sen
timent is strong for Cleveland and
Hendricks. J. B. Weaver is a candi
date for Congress from this Htate; and
he is no Blaine man. The Democrats
supported him. and he in return will
support atnl carry his force for them.
July 28th. C.u.vim Adxwh.
lona Democratic.
A dispatch in the N. Y. Sun says
that Mr. Murphy, of lowa, said, on
the 27tTu
So far as lowa is concerned, we are
going co surprise the cowntty. The
St. John ticket will take from 15,0(10
to 20,00 from tho Republican vote
ami a combination av77l be made with
the Greenbaekers at onr State Con
vention, giving them four or five elec
tors, and we will take eight or nine.
That combined vote will carry lowa
as it did in 1882. The foundation of
that combination has already been
made by Gen. Weaver. Under a like
combination in 1882 tbe popular vote
of lowa for members of the Legisla
ture showed that tho Pemoeiatrc par
ty had three hundred or four hundred
ma jority. With the same combina
tion this year we will have at least the
same majority. The change rn popular
sentiment is due to onr sumptuary
laws. The Germans in lowa arc solid
for Cleveland. At the ratification mee
ting held in Davenport on Saturday
night a week ago there were not less
than 1,000 Germans present The
Chairman of the Republican County
Central Commitoo of Scott county
made a speech in favor of Cleveland
and Hendricks. Three* fourths of the
Germans of that county have liitlieiJo
been Republican, but Ido not know
of a single one of them who will not
vote the Democratic ticket this year.
Scott county lias heretofore given
2,000 Republican majority, but it will
give Cleveland 3,000 majority. •
SUICIDE.
\V v. read with interest and regret that
such wan ever tho caso, tbe account iu
tho Catoosa Courier, of the suicide of
Marshal L. Gilliland, formerly of
Graysvillo, in San Antonio, Texrjs.
It would construe too much of our
Rpace to give the details. We believe
the letter that he wrote and left for the
public would lie of interest to every
one, therefore wc give it below; and
leave tho matter subject to every ones
consideration. While there is some
tin ng striking in it, yet we can never
concede, hut that wc should cheerfully
submit to whatever Gol sees fit to im
pose upon us. He committed the act
by taking morphine.
Souther* Hotp.r*
San Antonio, Jury It’*, 1884.
To whom it may concern:
People generally have a curiosity to
know why a man commits suicide.
The reason why I do so comes fioin
ill health and misfortunes in other
matters. Long . continued had
health has brought poverty, and the
two together have taken away the love
for life that I had. I hav u been
schooled in the belief that ono incurs
the everlasting displeasure of his ma
ker in taking his own lite. But God
is just, of that I am most sure, and it
is not only a hope, hut a belief with
me, that I will undergo less mental
and physical pain in the next world
than I have in this. Men who take
the lives of others and are punished,
always say they are going straight to
Heaven. I think I have a better rltrhl
to take my own life thin that of all
ot her.
’ was 40 years old last March.
My lilo has been a most complete
failure but with health I should want
to live, for I love the green fields, the
singing birds, the clear streams and
the smiling faces of mv friends. Rut
bad health and lack of means forbid
my enjoying the company of those 1
love, and I haven’t the courage to
bare mv breast to tlie pelting storm of
shame and mortification that 1 would
be forcad to suffer, and 1 am satisfied
that mv infirmities are incurable.
1 hose of you who think a sane man
never to-’k his own life are in etror.
My mind was never clearer than it is
now.
I have seen much of the world atpl
tfir lirev of few whose eirfnmsfnnnrff
have been so humble, have hern so va
ried with good and ill, and pTeairaicr
and pain. I hare travelled ynos! of
the states and hare feasted nrr ryes
on the sights of‘‘.Merry England" and
the great city ot London. Have been j
in the Tower than which no bnilvtmg
in the'world has so many historic- as
sociations. No other has seen so much j
of lore and* hate and blood and crime.
On a stone rn one of the cells is scratch
ed a I ino by one who was there for re
ligions belief. It is thus: “A perilous
passage maker h a port pleasant" and,
if that he true, which 1 donbt not, a
new port will he a pleasing sight to
my longing eyes. Have seen West
minster Abbey and tbe nionmnents
placed three in honor of the great of
England, groat in science, poetry r»nd
war. I hare wandered through the
British museum and along the Tha
mes embankment, and have stood on
the while cliffs of Dover and looked a
cross the English Channel to the sun
ny land of France. Have revelled
with the revellers amid the gayeties ot
the queenly city of Paris. Have seen
the wonders of the Louvre, Cluny, Lux
embourg, Ft. Germain, Versailles and
the Pantheon.
Not Jong srnce 1 saw the tomb of the
great Napoleon, and as 1 remembered
some of fire cventsin his womieifnl ca
reer I stood beside him and kissed the
sky from the summit of the Alps, and
I fought with him iu the hot samla of
tint Assyrian plains. Have been fan
next by tl>e spicy breezes ot the tropic
seas on tlve top of Moro Castle in Ha
vana. Pluelse-1 orairges around the
everglades of Florida and played with
dusky face 1 Aztech children in the
land of Santa Anna and the Montez.u
mas, and now I come back to lay my
hones in the shades of the Alamo on
the banks ot the beautiful and historic
Fan Antonio river- My hands are
not stained with the life blood of my
