  Mrs. CAPITO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to join the residents of 
Lewis County, West Virginia, in recognizing the town of Jane Lew on its 
100th birthday.
  Situated in north central West Virginia, Jane Lew traces its origins 
back to 1773. The small community grew slowly over the years before 
being issued a charter of incorporation by the State Legislature in 
1907.
  Today, at 100 years young, Jane Lew continues as a thriving small 
town. Known for being a friendly tight-knit community, the town is home 
to 40 businesses, a thriving senior center and 1 of the region's 
largest Labor Day craft shows.
  I congratulate the residents of Jane Lew and look forward to many 
more birthday celebrations in the future.
