would have hardly selected the site upon
which the city Of Lynchburg now stands.

Should have been built up at that partlc-
liar point, but for some reason the
ruclcus was formed and IL town was
started. and out Of It has grown UP one
@: the most substantial cities In tho
United states. Indeed, Lynchburg claims
that with one or two exceptions, It is the
richest city per capita in the United
States. BE that II may, It is undoubtedly
the most substantial town TO its inches In
The entire South. 1t has an appearance
&C solidity that we have seen In no town
Of like sIzc In any part of the country,
and It's appearance does not belle Il, for
Lynchburg Is solid to the backbone
