Sellers was named for John C. Sellers, who lives there, and operates the adjoining lands as a farm. It also is in the midst of a prosperous and progressive section of the county. There are three stores, operated by J. K. Page, J. D. Haselden and E. J. Garrison, the last an industrious colored man, who is prospering. Many of the lots in the town are owned by colored people, who form a large part of the population. This is an important shipping point.
