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

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.
THOMAS THANKS HIS
FRIENDS FOR SUPPORT
Having disposed of my interest in
the Thomas-Mayo company, I wish to
take occasion to thank all my friends
who have supported the store so gen
erously during the five years I have
been in busirvias here. 1 wish to aaeure
the public that their patronage has
