Clarksdale newspaper legacy returns home

The Clarksdale Press Register reports that Clarksdale's native son, Stone Ellis, advertising manager for the Biloxi Sun-Herald, is out of work. The Ole Miss journalism graduate grew up at the Press Register, which his uncle owned and edited. He fled Biloxi on the Tuesday after the hurricane hit. " Ellis said while he could ordinarily travel from Biloxi to Clarksdale in about five years, the Tuesday trip took more than nine hours to complete. 'There is no coordination along U.S. Highway 49,' Ellis said."
