Lafayette County Cotorro Fare at Higginsville Fair
The Lafayette County Colored Fair in Higginsville Missouri closed its annual meeting after a severe storm shortened the third day and forced removal of the sweepstakes races. The event drew crowds on a sunny second day, with improvements planned for next year and a push for broader participation by the Black community. The Conservator notes religious gatherings in Burn’s Chapel and Carthage, praises the work of the Nazarene followers, and previews the Missouri State Fair starting the 21st with emphasis on industry and progress. The issue asks delinquent subscribers to pay up to sustain the paper, warning of stoppage if balances remain unpaid.
