of its people is, by no means, behind the most
favored OF its sisters; the most ample accOmo-
datiOn for the religious worship Of four differ
ent denominations, private dwellings of va
riOus style and finish, a sprnkling of stores,
and quite q number of artizans in tie various
branches of human skill, make Culpepper
