The statue IS of bronze. It is eight
feet high, and will rest on a pedestal
of Vermont marble six feet in height.
The movement to erect memorial
to Dr.. w. w. Mayo was started by
citizens Of Rochester on November 10,
1911, and the dedication of the statue
is of interest here because of the fact that
DR.. Mayo was one Of the pioneer settlers
of this section. For time he was a
resident of Lake Prairie, Nicollet County,
and his two famous sons, DR.. Will Mayo
and DR.. Charlie Mayo, were born in
that township, shortly before the Indian
outbreak. In 1862 he began the practice
of medicine at lie Sueur, and he and DR..
A. w. Daniels of St. Peter, were two OF
the surgeons who attended the wounded
when New Ulm was besieged by Little
Crow and his Sioux.

We extend to our many friends the
very best wishes for a Merry Christ
mas. There are so many reasons why
we should be glad at this particular
season of the year. We have just
closed one of the most prosperous
years in the history of the Northwest.
Farm products command good prices.
The tillers of the soil have built good
homes and now have we'll improved
farms where but few years ago this
entire section was vast prairie.
Nearly every farm home is surround
ed by beautiful grove. Rural tele-
phone lines and rural mail routes
have found their way to thousands of
the country homes. We have good
rural schools. Many townships have
halls where farmers may congregate
for social pleasures. Churches have
been built everywhere. Our children
are growing to be strong, God-fearing
young men and women in these ideal
environments. And for these and
many other reasons, we should be
merry indeed at this Yuletide Season.
