                125TH ANNIVERSARY OF EMERY, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Emery, SD. Founded 
in 1884, the town of Emery will celebrate its 125th anniversary this 
year.
  Located in Hanson County, Emery possesses the strong sense of 
community that makes South Dakota an outstanding place to live and 
work. Throughout its rich history, Emery has continued to be a strong 
reflection of South Dakota's greatest values and traditions. The city 
of Emery has much to be proud of and I am confident that Emery's 
success will continue well into the future.
  The town of Emery will commemorate the 125th anniversary of its 
founding with celebrations held on July 3 through July 5. I would like 
to offer my congratulations to the citizens of Emery on this milestone 
anniversary and wish them continued prosperity in the years to 
come.
