Shellers Head South as Winter Ties Draw Near
Henry Morris and Max Sterneman led a cabin boat departure toward southern waters to begin shelling season migration. They plan to travel up the Arkansas and linger through cold weather until spring arrives. Other local shellers along the river are preparing to follow, predicting profits from seasonal moves. East Hill locals report several cammers set to join them by early next month. Mr. and Mrs. George Ejigers left for Davenport to visit relatives, while Mrs. Henry Mertz of Illinois City spent the day in town and returned home. John Fry of Wilton was in town on business yesterday.
