    IN RECOGNITION OF THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CLEBURNE COUNTY 
                               COURTHOUSE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. MIKE ROGERS

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 21, 2007

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I respectfully ask the 
attention of the House today to pay recognition to the citizens of 
Cleburne County, Alabama, who will soon celebrate the 100th anniversary 
of the Cleburne County Courthouse.
  The cornerstone of this historic structure was laid on July 4, 1907, 
following a referendum to decide the final location of the courthouse. 
The location chosen was Heflin, Alabama. Over the past century, the 
Cleburne County Courthouse has housed numerous departments serving the 
people of Cleburne County, including the office of the judge of 
probate, veterans affairs office, the superintendent of education, and 
the county commission.
  On June 30, 2007, the citizens of Cleburne County will gather to 
commemorate this important milestone. At that time local leaders are 
expected to open the cornerstone, and local citizens will hear 
presentations by community leaders and enjoy a community-wide 
gathering.
  I would like to congratulate the people of Cleburne County for 
reaching this important milestone in their county's history, and join 
the community in wishing another prosperous 100 years for this 
important landmark.

                          ____________________
