Few citizens of this county are more
widely or favorably known than Augustus
Prehl, the candidate of the Democratic
party for the purely business Office of
Sheriff, and it is our purpose in this sketch
to cali attention to some of the traits OF
character which have contributed to a
successful career in this the land of his
adoption.
Mr.. Prehl is 81 years of age, in the
prime of vigorous manhood. He came to
this country when eighteen years of age
and almost Immediately found employ
ment on the farm OF Charles Hitchner, at
Mantua Grove School House.
In 1877 he engaged in the livery bust
ness in Woodbury., and the extensive liyerj
and sales stables on Cooper street are the
monuments of his energy and thrift, and
his good reputation for honest, square
dealing, are the results of an upright
business life of twenty-five years here.
Ia 1896, when the business depression
was most severely felt here, several whole
sale carriage firms with whom Mr.. Prehl
had large dealings, failed, and large ac-
counts, which ia ordinary times would
have caused no inconvenience, became i'm
mediately due. To protect home creditors
from loss, Mr.. Prehl made an assignment
of his estate for the equal benefit of
creditors, and placed his property at the
disposal of all alike. AS result every
foreign creditor was satisfied, and every
home creditor has since been paid in full,
and already several foreign claims which
were compromised have been paid in full,
with interest
We mention this period at some length
because some persons not informed as to
the true condition, have given it different
coIoring
In 1890 Mr.. Prehl was elected member
Of the Board of Chosen Freeholders from
the Second Ward and reelected in 1892,
and his record of five years. service in our
county legislature was honorable TO him.
self and his immediate constituency as
well as profitable TO the taxpayers Of the
county.
The traits of his character which are
discernable to every one are faithfuIness to
every obligation of public and private
duty, stability of purpose and thorough
honesty. With bis generous business e1-
perience, combined with these, be is
equipped to make competent, popular,
painstaking Sheriff. and if the people elect
him on November 7th. they will honor one
who by reason of kindness of heart, in
dustry, honesty and faithfulness, has during
the past contributed largely to the hap.
piness and welfare OF others.
