Caddo Community is Benefited by Revival

 

Converts- 70

Reclamations- 55

New church members- 70

New membership to churches: Methodist, 38; Baptist, 17; Presbyterian, 7; Nazarene, 6; Christian, 2.

Expenses raised $900.

Renewed faith and spirit- untold.

 

Such is the summary of the community revival which closed at the Tabernacle Monday evening.

Evangelist Judge Frank Morris and Choir Director Moody B. Cunningham led this campaign for three weeks. In it they were ably assisted by Rev. M. A. Cassidy, pastor of the Methodist Church and by members of all churches in town.

There is new spirit pervading Caddo now. There is a more brotherly feeling; there is a more inspiring phase put upon life by reason of these meetings. A larger value is being put upon the church and its influence in the community.

The evangelist and singer go to Checotah from Caddo beginning a meeting there Sunday and they go with the good will and the prayers of Caddo folk for success for the Master.

The spirit of Christ has pervaded these services throughout. The preacher has by his inimical methods brought vividly before the people the meaning and the value of salvation from sin. He has done his best and in doing this he has vilified none. He has powerfully presented both the love and the judgments of God. He has not attempted any Churchanity- he has endeavored to get men to profess the Christ and let the church membership be taken where the sinner chose. In this sort of work he has the commendation of all thinking Christian people.

Judge Frank Morris has a way of winning men- he is a man’s man and men are impressed by his earnestness and faith in God- by his trust in the power of God and by his trust in the leadership of the Holy Ghost. Judge Morris takes no credit to himself. He gives the Savior the credit for saving men.

Caddo is extremely fortunate to have had such a man to lead such a revival. The community has stood in much need of just such an awakening- and now that such a revival has been vouchsafed to us, Caddo is insistent that other communities likewise may be blessed.

The Mutual Civic Club

The Cemetery Association met with Mrs. W. H. Ainsworth on February 7. The first motion made and carried was to change the name of the association; our contributors alluded to us as the graveyard committee, cemetery beggars, and like names, until some of our members were getting pale and ghost like. With weird expressions we were afraid we might turn to walking monuments, so after many suggestions and contemplations, we decided on The Mutual Civic Club as the most appropriate name.

It was further voted that we hire two men one week out of each month (until our contributions increase) to keep the cemetery in as nice condition as possible; also that we receive members outside the M. L. and A. Club, us those desiring to join the Mutual Civic Club can do so by verbal or written application to the secretary. The club intends to set out shrubbery in the cemetery February 21^st and any assistance from the public in the way of shrubbery or help will be greatly appreciated.

We begin the new year with new aspirations and ambitions, realizing as never before the great responsibility and necessity. We thank the public very much for their patronage and with their cooperation of the same, we pledge ourselves to prove worthy of the trust reposed. Feeling that the public is due an account of the assets and expenditures from the beginning of the club work up to February 1, we herewith render the following account:

Corn Carnival Boosters

The Caddo Herald

August 1, 1913

75 Boosters from Caddo

 

With auto horns blowing and pennants flying from fifteen autos, the Caddo boosters, seventy-five strong, arrived in the county seat today noon. The boosters are out on an advertising expedition, advertising the Fifth Annual Caddo Corn Carnival, which will be held in Caddo on August 20-23.

The cars were driven to the Atwood Hotel where the boosters alighted and marched back up the street to the corner of Main and Third. The Caddo band of eighteen pieces led the boosters, rendering music. Several pieces of music were played, after which they were served with dinner at the café.

Directly after dinner the party again formed in line and paraded Third Avenue where the band played for some time, after which Hon. J. T. McIntosh delivered a speech of welcome in which he complimented the party upon their enterprise and the creditable showing made, paying a tribute to the party who had made the Caddo Corn Carnival a success.

Claude Smith, a well known attorney of Caddo, responded in which he thanked the citizens for the courtesy extended and for the whole-souled manner in which they were met by the people of Durant. Both these addresses were short but were appreciated.

W. F. Dodd, J. W. Crutchfield, and H. T. Chiles were in charge of the party and they report having met with a warm welcome at each stop on their journey. The party left Caddo this morning at 9:30.

After dinner the different members of the party passed out advertising literature and at 2 o’clock departed for places in the southern part of the county. They will spend the night in Denison, Texas, returning tomorrow by way of Bennington, Bokchito, and other towns in the eastern section of the county.

County Judge Rappolee, an old-time citizen of Caddo accepted an invitation to go with the party and he accompanied them from here.

While in the city this morning the committee made arrangements with the Durant league team to play Denison three games at the carnival. The two teams will be held together after the season closes on the 18^th, and will play a game each day of the carnival at Caddo. Durant Democrat

Ben Siegel Serves Bryan People Forty Years- Still Going

Ben Siegel celebrated his fortieth year in Bryan County this week with an open house at his store in Durant.

In the lifetime of a man forty years is a long time. In the life of a community forty years is but a day if that forty years is properly spent.

Forty years ago as a young man, Ben Siegel came to Caddo with a small but well selected stock of goods, suited to the needs of the then primitive, but growing, town and community.

Practicing rigid economy in his buying, Ben was able at all times to give the people a full dollar’s worth of goods for a dollar. His institution grew and grew with each week until his store became one of the biggest and best in the old Choctaw Nation. With statehood, still adequately serving the people by furnishing the people with goods they needed, Caddo I.T. became Caddo, Oklahoma.

From his first day in Caddo Ben Siegel adopted a motto that meant something to him and to the people whom he served: Quality for Quality, Price for Price, Ben Siegel will not be undersold by anybody. This has meant financial loss to him sometimes, for if his goods did not prove to be what he thought they were, he made them good. No patron of his ever had cause to complain of treatment, for from the start Ben Siegel recognized the fact that the customer must at all times be pleased.

With the coming of statehood Durant became the county seat; and a dozen years ago Ben Siegel, sensing an opportunity for better and larger service to the people, moved to Durant where he has prospered greatly by the same methods inaugurated in his first store.

A service of merchandising that Siegel has always done is that of extending credit to people who are worthy of it. In doing this he has enabled folks with salaries to buy all their needs ahead, charging but a nominal fee. When other did not cash warrants and other evidence of debt, Ben always was accommodating and thus enabled the people to get their money on those things.

In all his success Ben Siegel has never forgot the people of his first community, Caddo. He likes for Caddo people to come to his store and visit; he wants to make their headquarters at his store, wants you to tell your friends to meet you at Siegel’s in Durant- as everybody knows where that is.

Ben Siegel hopes to serve the people another forty years. If in the natural course of human events he is called away, he has a son, Allen, to carry on. Allen was born in Caddo and never forgets his old friends here.

Ben Siegel keeps his stock clean, never allowing old out-of-date styles or shopworn goods to be offered to the public. He makes good on his slogan “The Oldest Store with the Newest Stock in Bryan County”. When in Durant make it a special thing to go to Siegel’s.

35,000 Relief Workers to be Taken Off Work by May Thirty-First

A curtailment program taking off WPA work rolls relief clients to the number of 35,000 by May 31^st was agreed on at Oklahoma City Monday night after a conference between the state and district relief administrators of WPA.

A survey will be had in each district to determine which are to be first to go. Rolls must be cut to 54,000 by June 30 when all WPA projects are scheduled to be completed.

Key said the greatest curtailment will be in sanitation and malarial control and farm to market road and no new projects will be accepted.

“We are trying to go about this in the most painless way possible. We are going to see that those who most need work are going to get it while those who have a chance to get something else will be taken from the rolls,” Key said.

In the light of this cutting of work rolls, it is the wiser farmer who quits now and puts in his crop and tries to make some living at home; for if he waits a few weeks and is cut off the work he will not have time to put in a garden or crop. And will have no WPA work.

 

State Relief Costs to Rise as WPA Rolls Grow Less and Less

Reduction in rolls of WPA will increase the mounting load of state relief as the Welfare Board Tuesday made its largest apportionment of funds on the basis of $3 for each individual.

There are 56,826 cases and 160,000 individual applications.

For March Atoka County was given $17,103; Bryan County$10,908; Choctaw County had $9,249; Sequoyah $20,892; coal $3,168. Atoka and Sequoyah seem to be quite active in getting more than half their population on the county relief.

If only the actual needy people were given relief there is no just cause for compliant, but when just anybody who asks is put on the roll it is time to call a halt. We have heard people say they want ot get all of the money for their county so they enroll all who will sign an application saying they have no resources whatever.

One Train Robber Confesses

At Antlers Tuesday W. D. Stearns, leader of the Caney train robbers, pled guilty in the U. S. Court and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Stearns attorneys sought to lessen the sentence if their client would plead guilty, but the court refused to grant their request and the plea of guilty was made. The two remaining robbers are on trial today and will likely be found guilty. The prosecution is using their three confessed confederates as witnesses against them.
