Last Thursday was Wool Sellers
day in Douglas, sure enough, and
Solid, substantial farmers and
sheep-raisers from Irwin, Berrien,

have now, as we are just going to
press. But the Sellers and Buyers
were here, and we suppose good
prices were obtained. It was esti
mated early in the day that between
fifty and sixty thousand pounds
would change hands.
