A novel adventure incident to parcel post service, involving two babies and a wooden leg, all three sent by mail, was reported last week by Edgar F. Phillips, a rural mail carrier. While covering his route with two infants and a wooden leg among his “ parcels,” Phillips was attacked by a wild cat. For a moment, says the carrier, his live mail was in danger of being carried away. Selecting t h e wooden leg'as the most available weapon, however, Phillips wield ed it so well that he put the w ild cat to rout. All three parcels were deliver ed none the worse for the en counter. 4 | Serial N o. 884 M AYO SUCCEEDS 1H0MAS-MAY0 COMPANY A business change of great interest and importance took place Moncay, when J. W. Mayo of the Thomas-May-> company, purcahsei the interest of L. L Thomas, hia partner. The deal oc casioned considerable surprise about town, as it was not known that a change was contemplated. Mr. Mayo expects to conduct tho store along the same energetic an : pro gressive lines that have built up the firm’s business to its present size. He will direct his efforts toward m*. .iting a continuance of the trade the store is now receiving. Mr. Thomas states that his future plans are as yet indefinite, although he expects to transfer his interests to Portland. His many friends here will greatly regret his departure, and it is to be hoped that he will find a good business opening a little closer to Stay- ton.
