Mathiston is a town in Webster County, Mississippi, United States, located in the north-central region of the state near U.S. Route 82. Founded in the late 19th century and named after early settler Mathilda Mathis, the town has a population of about 700 and is a typical rural community in the American South.

The local economy is based on agriculture and small retail businesses, and is surrounded by large tracts of cotton and soybean farmland. The town retains a quiet community atmosphere with basic public amenities including a post office, schools, and churches. A community festival held each fall is an important local cultural tradition.

Linden is the second largest city in Guyana, located in the Demerara-Maboika Region, on the banks of the Essequibo River, about 110 kilometers from the capital, Georgetown. As the country's major mining center, Linden is known for its bauxite mining, with a large bauxite processing plant, and is the central hub for Guyana's bauxite exports, supporting a major pillar of the country's economy. The city has a population of about 35,000 and is multicultural, with communities of Indian, African and Aboriginal origin living together to form a unique cultural atmosphere. Although the mining industry is the lifeblood of the economy, in recent years Linden has also been actively developing tourism and agriculture, relying on the riverside landscape and natural resources to attract tourists. In terms of transportation, it is connected to Georgetown by road and has a small airport, making it an important gateway city to Guyana's interior.
