       125TH ANNIVERSARY OF SULLY COUNTY AND ONIDA, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Madam President, today I rise to recognize Sully 
County and the town of Onida, SD. They will commemorate the 125th 
anniversary of their founding with celebrations August 7-10, 2008.
  Sully County and Onida were founded in 1883. Onida was named after 
Oneida, NY, with the intentional misspelling. Sully County was named 
after the builder of Fort Sully, General Alfred Sully. Since their 
beginning 125 years ago, the communities of Onida and Agar have 
continued to serve as strong examples of South Dakota values and 
traditions.
  I would like to offer my congratulations to the citizens of Sully 
County on this milestone anniversary and wish them continued prosperity 
in the years to come.
