GREAT lGNORANCE.-DR. w. w
PARKER, who has just returned from trip to
Ohio, inform MS that the people of that
State have very queer ideas Of the size and
capacity for business of our Hswkeye
cities. He was frequently asked if Daven-
port was a. large a place a. Norwalk, .
town in Ohio, containing about fifteen
hundred inhabitants. and when he told
them that Davenport could absorb at least
two such places, they became decidedly in.
CT credulous, and accused the Doctor Of "Blsr-
nsy." Most Of the citizens of Nsrwalk had
the impression that Gsneseo, Ill, was the
next largest place TO Chicago. outside Of
Ohio-they haviug been - informed BY one
Of their former inhabitants who had moved
to that place.
1t il the impression among many Eastern
people thst Western eisiss are thipes of
imagination. They have never ventured
