As ray stay was short I must be par doned if 1 failed to discover aU, of merit and inter est which this plejsan: pke powesscr. Salem is the largest village in the Mora i in survey, and is emphatically the little Bremen of North Caro lina. The sue for the Court House of the new Couuty of Forsyth has been located there, and'it bids fair to become a town of considerable im portance. Indeed it is already one of the most considerable villages West of Ualeigh., Its pop ulation is estimated at something over 1200 in habitants. The main street is more than. 14 , found lagging in the rear of any other county m the State. And t!ip day is not distant when' some vf the wise and prudent one, who are now. so remarkably indili'erent, will join ue in my regrets aud lamentations. Under these circumstances then I appeal to. all who have stock in the lload, or wish .tp sep it bu'l to tttti themselves to their utmost to have a full attendance of the free men of our county at the-meeting to be held on 1 uestfay ol next ioun t Court. Sure none who are 'true friends to the trorx or the coJnty in vtluch he resides will fail iu do a(l tlml he c&u at this particular crisis to - arouse public attention to this work, when the die is so soon to' he ciist to seal our fate forercr oiie way or the other.
