There is another southern outrage about to be committed at Fayette Missouri. A colored man and brother about to be sold at auction to the highest bidder.
A large ornery Negro was tried for vagrancy before Judge H. Clay Cockrill at Glasgow and was found guilty and order to be sent to the County seat, Fayette, and sold. It was proven that the Negro had only worked parts of six days in six months and was a habitual street loafer.
There are a few old bums of different shades of color around Platte City who ought to be sold for anything anybody would offer.
