THE COMMERCIAL NATIONAL
BANK.
Capital $4,000 00-A Leading Finan-
cial Institution of Marion County.

Good banking facilities are the life
blood of individual enterprise and com
merclaI progress, and any review of
jefferson and Marion's county's past
and present progress would be far from
complete did it not contain reference
commondatory to that sound and safe
financial institution, The Commercial
National Bank Of jefferson, which,
since its inception, has done so much
toward promoting and advancing the
material progress of our little city. The
bank has a capital of S30,000.OO. with
surplus and profits of over 100000
and good line Of deposits. 1t is con

these gentlemen are highly esteemed
by all who know them, and are thor
oughly competent to handle their of
fieial positions, we feel that special
mention is due Cashier Nelson, this
gentleman is more directly connected
with the bank 3 business He is well
and favorably known throughout this
section of the State, and the able, con
scicntiOus manner in which he has
treated all patrons of the bank has
won for him many friends. Congenial
and oblging at all times, he is ever
ready to make known the material ad-
vantages to be derived from patroniz-
ing The Commercial National Bank
while as a banker he has evidenced a
knowledge Of finance which reflects
credit not alone upon himself, but the
town as well.
Taken as a whole, The Commercial
National Bank is popular with both
our citizens, and the farmers in this
locality, with the result, that it is
accorded a high place in thhe estimation
and minds of the people at large.
The officers and directors are all
men Of hustle and ambition, who take
a personal pride in jefferson and Ma
rion county. as well as in the succe
of their bank, and it is doubtful if any
OF our citizens have done more for the
welfare of jefferson than have these
men.
The bank Is located in the main bus
mess section of the city at the corner
Of Polk and Lafayette streets It has
been established since the year, 1907,
and is supplied with all the modern
conyenieuces, and protection from fire
and theft, such as fire-proof vault, bur

reasonable. There is no store in this
section of the State that carries a
larger or better stock and the citizens
of Jefferson are to be congratulated
upon having access to so complete a
trade emporium as is Mr., j. j. Segal IS
establishment.
Mr.. Segal has done more than any
one person to make jefferson a popular
trade center and cotton market. lit
buys ninety-five per cent Of the cotton
that comes to this city, always paying
the highest market price. Other buy
ers have found it hard to compete with
him in securing the white staple, as
his liberal buying drives them out Of
the local market.
The Jimplecutc is pleased to note the
success Of Mr.. Segal's large and at
tractive store as it shows what can be
done in jefferson by welEdirected cf-
forts, backed by ample capital.

1t is quite true that the Tariff
Board can make useful researches
and that under ordinary conditions
Congress might wisely await the re-
ports of the board on one schedule
after another. And this, of course,
is what would happen in the normal
order, if at the polls last November
the voters of the country had pre-
ferred to indorse the position of the
Republican party on the tariff. But
it so happened that the voters did the
opposite thing. They elected
Democratic Congress for the sake of
having the Payne-Aldrich tariff
energetically overhauled without
reference to the painstaking work Of
a tariff board. Doubtless the Dem
ocratic bill revising the textile
schedules are not the Ultimate thing
and the work of tariff board may
well help to give us a more complete
revision of those schedules at some
future time. But Congress knows
enough already about good many of
the schedules, including wool and
cotton, to justify a sharp reduction
of rates, and the country expects it.
