BethIehem's New Pastor.

The Bethlehem Lutheran church
near Waynesb0ro. which has for so long
been without pastor Is now in charge
of Rev. Jas. A. Huffard, of Pulaski,
who was recently called by the congre-
CATION. He is man of much ability
and brings with him the high esteem
and affection of his former people.
Rev. DR.. Afford Jones in the Pulaski
News Review thus speaks of him. The
town of Pulaski is about to sustain the
loss of a great moral force by the de-
parture Rev. James A. Huffard. 1t
is now nearly nine years since he came
into our midst and assumed the pas
torate of the Lutheran church. Dur
ing this extended passionate Mr.. Huff
ard has Iabored faithfully and Efficient
ly as pastor. preacher, and advocate
for all that is good in our town. He
has been exceedingly valuable and eff
ficient as a pastor. Many an humble
home, overlooked by others, has been
cheered by his visits. His life has been
self sacrificing. As might have been
expected, faithful in smaller field of
influence, he is advanced to larger
one. He goes to prominent church
called Bethlehem, Waynesboro, in the
beautiful Valley of Virginia. All the
people in Pulaski who stand for purity
and truth will regret his departure. :

week what rent the county officials pay
for offices in the county building and
what rent the building brings in. That
is easily answered: The persons elected
to do the county peOple's business are
furnished with places in which to trans
act that business. That building was
not erected by the county on the coun-
TVS ground to make money out of.
When the new court house shall have

charging said officials rent for their
offices That is not what county Of
