The Capital City Bank.

Leon county takes pride in the success
and prosperity of every enterprise that
is established and conducted within their
borders, and, although someone con-
nected with the Capital City Bank, in
season and out of season has seen to it
that this newspaper has not had any
patronage from that institution, we,
with other citizens, congratulate the
officers and stockholders Of that insti-
tuition over the apparent evidence of
doing a good business and being success
full business men.
Mr.. Geo. w. Saxon, the president and
head of the establishment, a self-made
man, is given up to be one of the
shrewdest business men in this section
of the State, and to him and his per-
sistent energy and quickness Of fore
sight is due SO per cent Of the credit of
the success Of that institution. There
is nothing narrow about us that we
know of, and, while we know that this
bank is "agin" US, we extend our sin
cere congratulations on its prosperity
May every enterprising business of
Leon county succeed, whether they are
our friends or not. Tallahassee can
well afford to be proud Of all of her
banking institutions.
