Madam Speaker, recently the Taylorsville Times, a historic newspaper in North Carolina's Fifth District, celebrated its 100th anniversary. I cannot overstate how much of an institution this newspaper is within the community. A century of production is a testament to the value that this newspaper creates for its dedicated readers. Like clockwork, it continues to carry on in the Alexander County community. Congratulations to Lee Sharpe, the publisher of the Taylorsville Times, and his family for achieving this tremendous accomplishment. Thanks to the diligence and hard work of Lee and his family, the citizens of Alexander County continue to have access to an invaluable resource. Here is to another prosperous 100 years of service. ____________________
