              CORSICANA DAILY SUN, 100 YEARS OF PUBLISHING

                                 ______


                           HON. MARTIN FROST

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 22, 1995
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
acknowledge the 100 years that the Corsicana Daily Sun in Corsicana, TX 
has been publishing.
  The first edition of the Corsicana Daily Sun was published on March 
2, 1985 as a morning edition. The Daily Sun was prosperous, and in 1906 
the owners purchased the Semi-Weekly Light and continued to publish 
both newspapers.
  In 1984 the semiweekly publication was converted into a weekly called 
the Navarro County Sun Extra. And in 1986, the Daily Sun began 
publishing a Saturday edition for the first time, making it a 7 day a 
week publication.
  Mr. Speaker, the Corsicana Daily Sun has been an invaluable addition 
to life and the arts in Corsicana. Although a fire displaced operations 
for 5 months in 1992, the Daily Sun continued to publish without 
missing one edition.
  Mr. Speaker, the Corsicana Daily Sun has documented local events and 
happenings for the past 100 years, and will continue to do so, we hope, 
for 100 more.
