Nelson Cox
for Sheriff.
A Man Who Would Do
Credit to the Office.
For Sheriff, the Republicans have
a candidate in Nelson Cox who is go
ing to win, and better man never
aspired to that responsible office.
He is a gentleman of unimpeachable
integrity and sobriety, well versed
in business affairs, and one who could
be depended onto administer the
duties of Sheriff with the strictest
fidelity and honor, at the same time
giving a poor man all advantage
that the law would allow, as he him
self knows what it is to be reduced
to very moderate circumstances.
He is making most of his canvass on
a bicycle, and is doing his work
thoroughly and completely. Hav
ing been thrown out of employment
last spring when the Bernice Mines
closed, he is, unfortunately, work
ing against big odds with a wealthy
opponent of large means. Mr. Cox
js going to receive a handsome vote
from his many friends 011 the other
side, and if every man on his side
does his duty, which he surely will,
there will be no mistaking the
results.

Following is n life sketch of John
I>. Reeser, as published hy the Re
view in a recent issue:
John 1). lleeser, the candidate for
Associate Judge, is a native of Sull
ivan county, and a man of whom
we may In* proud. His career illus
trate* what a young man can accom
plish, even in these days when so
many complain of lack of opportu
nity. Many a man who started PI
life at the same time as did the sub
ject of this sketch, with far more to :
begin with, now envies him the po- I
sition he iias attained in the business |
and social world, and bemoan their
own lack of luck. The fact is, luck j
has very little to do with a man's
career. Generally speaking, if a
young man is honest and upright,
hard working, industrious and so
ber, he will in the end win success.
This has been the case with Mr.
Recser, Whatever he has, he has
worked for it, and worked hard, ear
ly and late, and if he now possesses
the universal confidence and esteem
of his neighbors and business associ
ates it is because his "very action has
been such as to con. that respect
and admiration.
John D. Reeser, the son of Amos
and Rebecca Reeser, was born in
Dushore, March 1">, 1861. The grand
parents of the subject of this sketch
were among the earliest pioneers
who settled in Sullivan county, and
were of fine old German stock.. His
father, Amos Reeser, for many years
one of the best known citizens of
Dushore, was one of a family of nine
children, three of whom were min
isters of the gospel. John I>. Rees
er was the only son of his parents,
and in him their fondest hopes were
centered, and they have been more
than realized. When a boy he
steadily attended the public schools
of his native town, and laid the foun- j
dation of a fine education which was j
to serve him well in later life. When i
he was eighteen years of age he j
opened a small confectionery store, I
John D. Reeser.
and began the btishus* career that
has been one continued success up to
the present time. A year later he
enlarged his stock and rented the
building now occupied by William
Kast. Ilere he kept a general stock
of groceries, confectionery, etc., and
about a year later added dry goods.
The town was then on the boom,
and the young merchant trimmed
his sails to catch the trade winds of
prosperity, and was successful be
yond his own dreams. In 1884 he
formed a partnership with K. G.
Hylvara in the dry goods and gener
al produce business, the caption of
the firm being Reeser A- Hylvara,
and one of the largest stocks known
in Dushore at that time was install
ed in the rooms at present occupied
by Mr. Hylvara. Mr. Reeser's
health had become imparcd by his
close attention to business and he
decided to take a very much needed
vacation. For the best part of a
year he traveled through the west
ern states, much of the time "rough
ing it"in true border style, and in
the pure air of the prairies and
| mountains wooing back the health
! and strength that business life had
I robbed him of.
11c then returned to business with
| renewed health and strength and tie
1.25 Per. Year
| voted all his energies to the upbuikl
ingofan already splendid business.
In 1885 lie was married to Mrs.Mary
i R. I lea ley, and to tliem have been
born three ehildren. John I>. Jr.,
MurjorieJ. and Mable I>. Reeser,
I In 18!»l the partnership existing be
tween Messrs Reeser and Sylvara
j was dissolved by amicable agree
ment, and Mr. Reeser leased the
I building where he is at present loca
ted, and which had until that time
been occupied by the well-known
firm of Welles Aekley. Begin
ning here with a large stock he has
continually added to it and to-day
| handles one of the most extensive
lines of merchandise in the county,
I and is one of the largest taxpayers of
| his town.
About three years ago, on invita
j tion of the board of directors of the
j First National Bank of Dushoiv, he
accepted an election to that body,
j and since then has been prominent
I in the management of its affairs.
I If elected to the office to which he
j has been nominated the people of
the county can rest assured that he
j will give most careful attention
j to his duties, and that his decisions
j will ever be based upon common
j sense and justice, and that no mem
; her of the bar, or prospective meni
■ her, will have a mortgage upon him,

notice.
