EXHIBIT 31.1
                                                                  ------------

                               CERTIFICATION

I, Stephen H. Cheney, certify that:

1.  I have reviewed this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB of Thomasville
    Bancshares, Inc.;

2.  Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
    of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the
    statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
    were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
    report;

3.  Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
    information included in this report, fairly present in all material
    respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
    the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;

4.  I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
    procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for
    the registrant and I have:

    a)  designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
        disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
        supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
        registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to
        me by others within those entities, particularly during the period in
        which this report is being prepared;

    b) [paragraph omitted pursuant to SEC Release Nos. 33-8238 and 34-47986]

    c)  evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
        and procedures and presented in this report my conclusions about the
        effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
        of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

    d)  disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
        control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
        most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in
        the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is
        reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
        control over financial reporting; and

5.  I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal controls
    over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
    committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the
    equivalent function):

    a)  all significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
        control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
        adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process,
        summarize and report financial information; and

    b)  any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
        employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal
        control over financial reporting.
