James Myers, the Well-knOWn
florist, of Union Bridge, created con-
siderable excitement on the morning
Of March 81, when he attempted to
drown himself in the stream near
Union Bridge. The alarm was given
and persons rushed to the spot,
thinking perhaps it was child When
found he had drifted to a shallow
point, a physician was sent for and
he was resuscitated and later re-
moved to the buildings. He was sent
to a hospital Monday morning. The
reason assigned for the act was that
he was tired of life.
A delegation Of Gamers, headed by
Joseph N. Shriver, called Tuesday IN
on Governor Harrington and expressed
apprehension that his proclamation to
farmers might result in less acreage
in tomatoes, sugar corn, etc, and
might also divert farm labor from
these products to the stable foods. The
Governor said that he would urge
farmers to grow such crops as could
be canned He advised the Gamers to
pay first attention to perishable vege-
tables and later take up the canning of
meats, oysters, etc.
