w. A. Bowen, who resides in the
Oakway section, sustained very pain
full injuries last Wednesday while at
work near his home. He was over
seeing some work which was being
done with IA field rake, when one of
the rake teeth was broken, and a
stop was made for repairs. Mr..
Bowen took the broken piece from
the machinery and carried it to his
blacksmith shop for repair. After
working OF it he went to replace the
repaired part, and found that he
had not gotten the prong properly
shaped. He returned it to the fire,
and when at red heat the prong was
placed In a wise, and Mr.. Bowen
it with a hammer in attempt
ing to shape it. The wise, however,
had not been securely frightened,
and the hot piece Of iron rebounded
from the hammer stroke, striking
the right eye Of Mr.. Bowen, making
a fearfully painful wound, from
which at first 1t was thought he
would lose his sight. DR.. l.. d. Wal
ker was summoned and gave the in
jured eye immediate attention., and
at last accounts 1t was hoped that
Mr.. Bowen's sight would be saved
In practically perfect condition. He
was taken soon afterward to Green
vile for treatment by n specialist.
He has hosts OF friends throughout
Oconee who will learn Of his mis-
fortune with genuine regret. We
trust that his injury may prove to
he slight.
