                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 25, 2007

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I respectfully ask the 
attention of the House today to pay recognition to the citizens of 
Coosa County, Alabama, who on this Saturday, October 27, will celebrate 
their county's 175th anniversary.
  On December 18, 1832, the Alabama Legislature established Coosa 
County from lands acquired under the Creek Indian Treaty of Cusseta. 
The October 24th celebration will take palace in the county seat of 
Rockford, and will feature organizations from around the county. In 
addition to a live band and county history lecture, each of the 
county's cities and towns will present a welcome address.
  I am pleased to recognize the citizens of Coosa County today for 
reaching this important milestone in the history of their county, and 
in the history of our great State.

                          ____________________
