TRUSTEE MAY RESIGN.

S. D. Clark of Wheatfield Tp., Contemplates Leaving Jasper County. We are told that there is a possibility that S. D. Clark, trustee of Wheatfield tp., will resign his office and locate in Oklahoma. He will have a sale the latter part of the present month and will go to Oklahoma on a prospecting trip, we understand, soon after his sale, with a view of locating there. \ Mr. Clark is probably the ablest township trustee in Jasper county. He is an old school teacher and is well acquainted with both the needs of the schools and the township. He is now' serving his third term, we believe, as trustee of Wheatfield township, but not continuous, of course. He is a democrat. and should he resign it will leave the political complexion of the trustees of the county stand at 4 democrats to 9 republicans, assumihg, of course, that a republican will be appointed in his stead. ■■ 1 ' Mr,. Clark is also one of the commissioners appointed by the circuit court bn the extension of the 1 Iroquois ditch, and his removal is likely to cause some little embarrassment to the progress of this improvement. The removai of Mr. Clark will indeed by a distinct loss to Wheatfield township and Jasper County.
