STONE’S STORY.
He Claims that He was Knocked Down
and Robbed.
It is seldom that a highway robbery
occurs in Columbus, but if the story told
by Eugene Stone last night is correct, there
has been a bold one, and almost under the
shadow of the genera] passenger depot.
About S o’clock a white man appeared at
the depot, his head all covered with blocd.
He gave his name to the policeman on
auty as Eugene Stone, and said that he
had just been knocked down and robbed
by a negro. The officer at once took him
to the office of Dr. C. L. Williams,
city physicitfc, where his wounds
were dressed. He had a cut about
two or three inches long just
behind the left ear, and another about
two inches long on the right side of the
head. These cuts had the appearance of
having been inflicted with a knife. Be
sides, he had a large knot over the left eye,
as if he had been struck with a blunt in
strument, His right hand also had the
skin torn; from the back of it in several
p aces.
Stone says his home is in Mississippi, but
that he has been employed on the Buena
Vista extension, the Georgia Midland
and the Columbus Southern rail
roads. He came in on the Geor
gia Midland, he says, from Wood
tury last night. When he reached the
depot at this city he asked a heavy set
negro with a large mustache to direct him
to the business part of town. The
negro led him down the railroad track
to Eleventh street and told him how he
could reach Broad street. As soon as he
turned to leave, he says, the brute 3truck
him a terrible blow back of the head with
a piece of iron and knocked him down.
The first blow was followed by two ushers.
He claims that the negro then stole nis
watch, his vaiise, and between ^20 and ?30
in money, btoce was conscious all the
time, and as soon as the negro left him he
returned to the depot and asked for assist
ance.
These who saw the wound on the back
of Stone's bead are not much inclined to
believe that they were inflicted by a piece
of iron. After he had been attended by
Dr. Williams he was taken to the city
hospital.
To Be Extended.
The building occupied by J. Kyle & Co.
will be extended back 45 feet by 65 feet,
two stories high. Contractor Wickham
will begin work on the building Monday
morning. The improvements on the
building will cost about £4000.
The County Commissioners.
The County Commissioners held their
regular monthly meeting yesterday. Or
ders to the amount of f1400 were passed.
Vo other business of importance was trans
acted.

A BUSINESS 91 AN’S PRAYER.
O, Thou who kindly doth provide,
And makes not one mistake;
Help me these questions to decide,
Or my poor heart will break;
There’s maDy things in life I need,
But men are prone to beat;
Iu trying to satisfy their greed,
How often do they cheat.
I want some paint to paint my house,
In colors that will stand;
Nor peal, nor chalk, as I’ve seen some,
Now what should be the brand?
H. W. Johns the best paint makes,
You’l find it at Gruzard’s;
It lasts for years, aDd never flakes,
A gallon covers thirty yards.
And then my locks and hinges too,
My picture mold and centers;
My sash and blinds, I need a few,
To fix my house for renters;
These questions all, he asked and then,
At vacancy gazed hard;
The answer came as from a pen,
Go down and see Gruzird.
My framing lumber good I want,
No sap or light wood fat;
I’vo tried to find it, but I can’c,
What shiil 1 1 do for I hat ?
The answer came In whispers low,
Don’t try to shun the sap;
Much trees ns that refuse to grow,
Uruzurd would Lull you that.
i want some lime and laths and hair,
My walls to plaster white;
I want, t he best at prices fair,
Now who will treat me right ?
lie closed Ids eyes and waited while,
Ills nerves were oil a strain;
(h> down and give Uru/.ard'a trial,
You'l sure go bade again.
I want a mantle In each room,
Tho parlor, and the rust;
Where can I go to look at aotnc,
The cheapest and thu best?
(> iimii,li man, what do you say,
For thono alx years or more;
That you know not ut this late day,
Of Uruzurd’s mantle store.
Hu turned about, and kicked his back,
To think hu’d boon so slow;
Thun Jumped into a onu-horso back,
Haying straight to UruzHrd'ago;
1 know ho keeps all that I want,
To build iny bouse complete;
And no I’ll take thin little jaunt,
Way dowu on Seventh street.

Strabo-^trablsmus—Cross-Eyed.
Strabo P mpy’s father was cross-eyed, and
flourished eighteen hundred years ago. ."here
was no one to straighten Strabo’s eyes. Not so
in this enlightened age. Mr. Morgm Davis, cf
Tennille, Ga., came to this city one week ago,
accompanied by his three sons, all of whom were
cross-eyed. He placed them under Dr. Bu lard’s
care, and yesterday they returned home, two of
them having had their eyes straighten d by the
delicate touches of the doctor’s skill, oue taring
too young to operate upon.
