              125TH ANNIVERSARY OF BERESFORD, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Beresford, SD. 
Founded in 1884, the town of Beresford will celebrate its 125th 
anniversary this year.
  Located in Lincoln and Union County, Beresford possesses the strong 
sense of community that makes South Dakota an outstanding place to live 
and work. Named after Lord Charles Beresford, an admiral in the British 
Navy and railroad enthusiast, Beresford has continued to be a strong 
reflection of South Dakota's greatest values and traditions throughout 
its rich history. The city of Beresford has much to be proud of and I 
am confident that Beresford's success will continue well into the 
future.
  The town of Beresford will commemorate the 125th anniversary of its 
founding with celebrations held on July 2 through July 5. I would like 
to offer my congratulations to the citizens of Beresford on this 
milestone anniversary and wish them continued prosperity in the years 
to come.
