w. w. Groves was last week appoint
ed Postmaster at Pleasant Hill, this
county, to succeed Rev. Daniel Titche-
nell, who has been dead to or three
years. William ID. Titcheneu, son Of
the deceased has had charge OF the
Office as deputy, since his fathers
death. The old gentleman established
the Office over twenty years ago and
had charge of it till his demise. The
new Postmaster has opened out a gen
eral store which makes a more suitable
place for post Office than in residence,
where it has heretofore been kept.
Mr.. Groves is the first Democrat ever
in charge OF the Office. He sent In n
petition some time since and was
promptly appointed. As the Office pays
but trihe, we would suppose that
Col. Titchenell would be glad 70 get
shut of IL.
