A fragment notes a hybrid strawberry attracting attention in St Louis districts. Uncle John Kelley, long tied to Peoria fishing lore, caught a 19 pound German carp on a bent pin at Al Fresco park. Mussel shell diggers along the Illinois river near Beards town expand to about fifty as pearls surface and shells ship weekly to button factories.
