Lexington weekly intelligencer. (Lexington, Mo.) 1871-1887, 1882-07-01

The celebration of the Fourth of July is q pa
riotic duty which should never be neglected.
Its opportunity i, to teach tue young how we
reverence the acts of the fathers Of the republic.
In these celebrations eycrywhere and always
peace, quiet and decorum should be observed, and
to this end where crowds are assembled, es-
pecislly OF boys and girls. no intoxicating
liquors should be sold or permitted, and the best
of order should be preserved. Let US hope,
therefore,. that these views may prevail at the
Lexington celebration, especially as we are
given to understand that it would be = violation
of law to sell liquor on the ground. and - doing
SO caused more or less unfavorable comment
last year. 1t is better to be right than to be
president; 30 it is better that We should. all have
. good time without giving onense to any one.
The aigginsville Advance gives this account
of the burglary ut that place:-'.On last Sunday
night. between midnight and morning. some
thief or thieves entered the iewelry store or
VIM. Rozeii, OF this city, aud. extracted thsre-
from the following goods: Seven gold watches,
forty-nye silver watches, twenty mine nickle

nine ri ~vOlvers. two cases Of assorted jewelry
and three hundred dollars in money. Total
amount Of goods taken, about eighteen hundred
dollars worth. Search has been made for the
goods and thief, but at the present writing no
clue has been obtained. The burglar effected an
entrance by cutting Q pane frcm the glass door,
aud the key hanging in the lock on the ms lde,
the entrance was easily made. The perpetrators,
evidently, have a good idea as to how such bu-
siness IL done. AZ they assorted the jewelry,
taking nothing but the most valuable and leav-
Ing the cheap, or what they. happened to take
Of the cheap Jewelry was dropped along the
street to tighten the burden, and, possibly, to
mislead parties who wonld make a search the
next morning. The burglary was committed by
some one who thoroughly understood the stock
and the surroundings, or was q good Judge of
jewelry. or else it could not have been performed
DO completely in SO short . time. Mr.. j. E.
Tucker was sleeping in the room Just back Of the
store, bat says he heard NO alarm whatever.
Others who were sleeping in the adjoining stores
heard y noise about l O'Clock, but took NO note
OF it. thinking it was freaks OF the wind or
something Of that sort. The loss will be severely
felt by Mr.. Kozell." o..
