McClellan Township Trustee Resigns After Much Trouble.

Newton County Enterprise. Henry Cannon, trustee of McClellan township, filed his resignation with Auditor Bringham last Thursday, and Mark Templeton was appointed to fill the vacancy. Mr. Templeton qualified Friday and entered on ills duties. This shift gives Newton county six and four democratic trustees. Mr. Cannon’s term as trustee has been somewhat turbulent, having trouble almost continually with his bondsmen, the advisory board, or the school patrons. The new trustee is a son of Henry Templeton, of Morocco, formerly of this place.
