.... Noted for Thrift in
| I( \J Business
Few of the Sentinel readers t are
aware of the fact that some eighteen
miles southwest of Pauls Valley there
resides some 400 thrifty, thriving, in-
dustrious souls, and they have went so
far ab to co-operate one with another
and by so doing have built up a town
and have dubbed it Elmore. As yet
Elmore is without a railroad, but they
possess all else.
The town is located on Rock Creek
one of the richest spots in the Chick-
asaw Nation. The country is well set-
tled by a good, God fearing industrious
folk. The town is made up of several
business houses that supply the needs
of the inhabitants of the surrounding
country. A fine school as well as
churches are features that have not
been overlooked.
Elmore has a character in the per-
son of J. P. Gibson who conducts the
First Bank of the place. He is direc-
tors, president, cashier, and in fact the
whole thing. He is the oldest busi-
ness man and the youngest in years in
the place. He controls 3000 acres of
the best land in the vicinity. He is a
native of Arkansas, having first made
his salaam to his kin folk in 1874.
"Elmore cannot lose him," as he puts
it.
J. H. Eskridge who conducts a
general mercantile business is also one
of the stalwarts. He has been in the
country 9 years and is booked to play
the string out.
O. A. Estep and W. A. Johnson
constitute the business firm of Estep
& Johnson, dealers in general merchan-
dise. These gentlemen are from Tex-
as but feel that Eimore will be their

future abiding place. They are thor-
ough business men and have convinc-
ed their competitors that they are do-
ing business.
H. A. Bromfield and H. Steldin are
conducting a lucrative business, hand-
ling general merchandise. They are
large property owners, and progressive
men. They claim Missouri as
as their native state, and they show
their patrons. They are men of fami-
lies and will doubtless remain and
grow with the prairie village.
The Carpenter Bros., D. J. Sr., and
E. S. are well and favorably known
throughout the whole district. They
are typical merchants and their stock
is in keeping with that of the most pro-
gressive. They are ever ready to as-
sist in the upbuilding of their town
and they look forward to the time
when the gentry will be aroused from
their slumbers by the whistling and
rumbling of the iron monster of the
rail train.
Dr. J. K. Lindsey has found it nec-
essary to go' into the drug business,
owing to the fact (as he puts it) that
people will not take a cold and are nev-
er sick. Even so, he declares,' he
will remain. He is a typical Southern
gentleman, Alabama being his native
state. His is the only business of its
kind in the place. He lives with his j
family and enjoys the health and pros- j
perity that the whole community boasts
of.
Taking it all in all, the town of El- ■
more looks good, that it has a bright
future, none will have the hardihood to
deny. The people deserve it, and
will doubtless secure it. Let us hope
so, at least.
