                125TH ANNIVERSARY OF ONIDA, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Onida, SD. The 
town of Onida will commemorate its 125th anniversary of its founding 
with celebrations August 7-10, 2008.
  Located in Sully County, Onida was founded in 1883 and was named 
after Oneida, New York, with the intentional misspelling. Since its 
beginning 125 years ago, the community of Onida has continued to serve 
as a strong example of South Dakota values and traditions.
  I would like to offer my congratulations to the citizens of Onida on 
this milestone anniversary and wish them continued prosperity in the 
years to come.
