I like to include news from all the different areas around Caddo because, like today’s, they often contain lots of names and even obituaries. I was thinking the other day that I need to start copying a few of Caddo’s news columns from other papers. For many years Caddo had a variety of reporters who reported news items for the Blue County News, Durant Daily Democrat, and others. And I know I haven’t been good about reporting school and sports news this year. Projects for the New Year!

I am proud to announce that the Caddo Herald editor has made arrangements for the Pleasant Hill community to have a reporter. This will meet the approval of every citizen in our community I am sure. We are glad to have the space in The Herald to print the news from our community. Of course we are all industrious and like for other people to know what we are doing.
