SALEM ITEMS.

Sleighing, the best we’ve had ior years. Farmers are improving it by hauling off corn, getting up wood, &c. Mr. J. Dunlap, our enterprising merchant is still alive, as you may see any day by calling at his store and see rhe way he is selling goods. The present sleighing is being put to good use by the young folks of this neighborhood in the way of oyster suppers and parties. The most enjoyable occasion of the season was an oyster supper at the residence of Mr. W. L. Bringle on Tuesday evening last, which was well attended by the beauty and strength of this community, who went to their homes feeling that they had enjoyed themselves hugely. Occasional.
