Very many mou who htve sufficient
prominence TO make an interview witn
tasm of some vaine 20 newspaper are
apt to make The mistake Of thnam that
ae opinions they entertain with saect
o public matters aro the opinions that
are entertained by the people Of TIE entire
STATE on section n which they live. Fur
instance, a Sew England man Visiting
Now Torl, tells the reporters OF the Sew
York papers that New England is atis.
fed with This or that thing that the presi-
dent has done, or is about 10 do, or is d.s-
satisfied with som thing that be has done.
A southern politician visiting Chicago,
New York or Washington undertakes 10
speak not only for his State but for sue
entire South, 81 questioned respecting
psblic sentiment IN his section ON any
important public matter. A Western
man from Colorado, OREGON or Minnesota.
Or any other Western State, assumes %
speak for The entire West GA public matt
tars about as soon as he arrives ia Wa5b-
iUeloD.
The truth is, Che different sections Of
Che country are so large, and tleir inter
est3 are So varied, that il is very seldom
that anybody is qualified To- speak for any
one OF them. 1t would be safe, perhaps,
for a Mississippi Valley man TO say That
en- the Mississippi valley STATES are in
favor OF government aid TO improve the
mississippi river. but it would be difficult,
doubtless, for him TO speak knowingly for
those States upon any other question in

CITY AND DISTRICT.
THANKSGIVING DAY.
How the Holiday Was Observed i'm this
City-Services in the Churches.

Inc observance of Thanksgiving day, as is
customary in this city, was marked by the re-
union of families and the gathering together
about well-tiled tables of friends and neighbors.
In the morning the services at the various
churches were well attended, and in the
churches as we'll at the homes the sudden
oeath OF the Vice President was spoken Of and
gave tinge of sadness to the good cheer Of the
holiday season. The President and his sister
