BY SCOOP"
After all, what you want when you
are hunting for a place to make
home is a clean town-no mattel
whether; 1t is small Or large, II 1t y
free from the smoke and filth o.
manufacture, the unsanitary sur
roundings of the hopelessly poor
Kintyre is Just such a town-k,n
tyre. Emmons county-a Scotch wore
signifying "The Best in the Land"
Lives Up to its Name.
Not every town lives up to it,
name-and fewer yet live UP to the
above as we'll as the town to DC
described. Kintyre Is not an old
town-that accounts for the lack o.
old ~"eyesore" shacks, so common in
towns with a past, and without the
enterprise to cover it up or to tear II
down.
Housed In New Buildings.
Kintyre's stores, bank, garage and
residences are all housed in clean
buildings. The alleys are a.
clear of refuse. 1t is a busy little
town, a healthy place to live in, and
in the midst of a tiptop farming
community. The population Is $50.
Banks, General Stores, Etc.
It has two general stores, a hard
ware store, a hotel, a livery barn, a
machine shop, a blacksmith shop, an
auto garage, a bank, two elevators
a lumber, company, a fuel and nipple
ment store, a pool hall and barber
shop, and a meat market.
Large Cattle Shipments.
Kintyre has its share of cattle
the vicinity is practically all under
cultivation, there are some who have
not overlooked the profits to be made
from stock. More than ten carloads
Of cattle were shipped out Of Kin
tyre during the last eight cnonths,
and the cream checks average $454;
per month.
Several Urgent Needs.
Kintyre offers a good opportunity
for a doctor and a druggist; at pres
ent medical aid is being summoned
from Braddock and Napoleon.
Named After Scotch Town.
Kintyre was named after a similar
ly.naned, place in Scotland. The
was granted by Dugan
and was laid out into
streets In 1903. The principal part
the town was built in and after
1907. @ n.5 f~
Taken On Live Appearance.
Since then the town has taken on
auitesa live appearance. 1t has seven
and three motorcycles,
and has a rafting good baseball
team. You don't have to take the
writer's word for the baseball team
ask anybody in Emmons county.
Not much OF an organization, and the
players have to be notified by mes
senger or telephone whenever a
game is to be played in another
town, but when they finally get to-
they put up some fierce bat
lies. OF course, many of the games
end with the matchmaking score,
but that is the umpire's fault, and is
never done unless the ualpire al
ready has his goods packed. One
queer thing about these games is
that they never have the same um-
pire twice-the unfortunate man is
II to be out of town or sick or In
the haymow, and they always have a
lew one every game.
kintyre state Bank.
Tho Kintvre State Bank was eS-
tablished January l, 1911, with a cap
|tal stock Of $4,000. It's resources
are given as $~65,497.49. Its officers
and directors are all local men:
Frank Simon, president; J.. d. Siev-
ers. vice president; r. B. Simon,
and Fred E. Davis, assist
ant cashier. In addition to the In
evitable life, fire and accident in
surancse, its real estate business now
amounts ID about $4,000. It has
made loans to the extent Of 100000,
and has written insurance in the sum
Of 100000.
The kintyre Postoffiee.
The postofice is located in Fallcat-
ter & Co.'s store, and that helps the
trade Of said F. t. Co. immensely.
OF course, you know you have a per-
Feet flight to ask for your mail and
the same right to walk out without
inquiring the price of cabbage, bur,
well-it just isn't done-which is
cinch number one for the "props."
Not the Only cinch.
Not that it's the only cinch. Fall
cater & Co. branch out into every.
thing that the general and particular
public desires-hardware, harness.
cream s%eparators, and groceries.
Cinch No. g.. If you don't happen
to need a cream separator, perhaps
you could use a jackknife-and the
is "everlastingly good" just
at present. Try a chunk.
The Third Cinch.
Skipping as Of only secondary i'm.
p~ortance the fact that Mr.. Fallcat-
ter's initials are NJ. B., and that the
60" is represented by K. Scott, we
come to the third cinch owned ex.
cluseively by this firm. They weren't
satisfied with only the postofice, SO
q little engineering brought them
The management of the telephone ex>
change, and the telegraph is install
ed in their store besides. Their tele-
phone business comprises the rural
as we'll as the long distance ex-
change.
Here for Nine Years.
Mr.. Fallcatter has been In the VI
of Kintyre for the past nine
years, and connected with the store
bears his name, for four OF
them. Some idea of the business
done hys this store can be hal If you
