REV. H. F. PORTERFIELD.


Rev. H. F. Porterfield was for some time a few years ago pastor of the First Baptist church of Harlan. He subsequently became Democratic candidate for the Legislature in Page county, making an extraordinary good race. Having had some acquaintance in Indiana with Vice-President Marshall, he secured the appointment of deputy internal revenue collector for the southern district of Iowa, with headquarters at Council Bluffs.
