. GET CROSSES OF HONOR
Johnson Hagood Chapter Held Most
Delightful Reception.
Mr. F. H. Miller, city electrician,
had a narrow escape from death
Thursday while at v/ork at the power
plant here. The water tank was un
dergoing some needed repairs when
one of the workmen dropped a two
and one-half pound hammer from the
top of the tower. It fell a distance
of about 80 feet and struck Mr. Miller,
who was standing on the ground, in
the'forehead, knocking him flat. Had
the heavy missile hit him on top of
the head he would probably have been
fatally injured. While the wound
was quite painful, Mr. Miller has
been able to attend to his work as us
ual.
