    Mr. David Lamb SHEPHERD, of  Aberdeen,
has been appointed postmaster of Whitehaven.
Mr. SHEPHERD, who is a native of Stonehaven,
joined the service of the Electric and Inter-
national Telegraph Company in 1864.  He was
first appointed telegraph clerk at Edinburgh,
in which city he was resident for about thirty
years.  In 1870, when the Government took
over the telegraph system of the country, he
was transferred to the Post Office service.  In
1895, by which time he had reached the grade
of assistant superintendent in the Edinburgh
office, he was offered the post of superintendent
of the telegraph branch at Aberdeen, which
he accepted.  During his residence in Aberdeen
he has proved a most capable and efficient
servant, and has earned the cordial esteem
of all his colleagues.
