                      Wednesday, February 1, 2006

  Mr. BLUNT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Neosho Daily News, 
which recently celebrated the One Hundredth Anniversary of the 
establishment of the newspaper.
  The Neosho Daily News began publishing its first edition as the Daily 
Democrat on January 23, 1905. In 1952, Howard Bush purchased the 
newspaper from the Anderson family and began publishing the newspaper 
under its current name. Publishers have included Howard Bush, Kenneth 
Cope, Randy Cope, and Rick Rogers. The Neosho Daily News provides 
information to parts of Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Kansas. In two 
of the past three years, the Neosho Daily News has been awarded the 
Missouri Press Association General Excellence Award. The newspaper has 
consistently been an outstanding community leader, sponsoring such 
events as the Neosho Business and Industry Show, the Neosho Christmas 
Parade, and Share Your Christmas. The newspaper is currently part of 
the Liberty Publishing Group.
  Throughout its one-hundred years of existence, the Neosho Daily News 
has made a positive impact to the four-state area that it serves.
