! THE CAROLINA JUNCO
“Snowbird” is the com
mon local name applied to;
this bird, a variety surely
! recognized by everybody in
the Appalachian Mountain
region. There are, however, 1
tWo varieties of Junco!
found in Eastern America.!
jThe other variety is the ‘
Slate-colored Junco. The
one common in Western
North Carolina is the Caro
lina. ~ '
The Carolina is slightly
larger than the Slate-color
ed, and is of a purer gray
color. The Slate-colored is
slaty-gray with a brownish
wash.
The Carolina spends the
summers in the region off
the balsams and the upper
| reaches of the hardwoods, 1
remaining there till cold
weather comes in the late
fall. It is not much in evi
i dence until the snow blank
! ets the earth; the greatest
| numbers are seen when
there is a cold snow flurry,
; at which time a person may
see hundreds during the
| day.
The nest is built on the
ground . w'here there is a
blanket of moss, and it is
well concealed. I have
found two, ~I think, or
three, of their nests. Walk-!
ing nonchalantly along, I
came near stepping on the
nest, when the mother bird
fluttered away, revealing
four eggs, whitish pepper
ed with reddish spots.
The diet of the Carolina
is composed of insects,
harmful to forests and
crops, and weed seed. When
there, is snow on thej
ground, hundreds of these
birds clinging to weeds, de-l
vouring the seed, are a fre
quent sight. It is altogether
i a beneficial variety.
The song of the Carolina,
heard during the summer, 1
is not pretentious; yet it is
pleasing.—(James Hutch-!
ins).

§ Several years ago a neighbor bank cashed numer- I
■ ous checks drawn by authorized government of- 1
I ficials on the TREASURER OF THE UNITED I
I STATES. Now, eight years later, that bank is §
# being called upon to refund the money paid on 1
* those checks. The reason—the parties to whom 1
I the money was paid proved to be not the ones for 1
a whom it was intended.
ii We advise and urge our customers and friends to 8
I be most careful in the matter of cashing checks |
| for persons not well and POSITIVELY known to V
| them. Should you know of two persons of the 1
I same name it might be advisable to make sure that 1
- | your party is the one for whom the money is in- 1
I tended. |
Better lose the price of a small purchase than to (§
accept in payment a check from a person that you i
do not know positively, and later be asked to repay l
! * the whole check.
