Today's Date - July 27, 1998                 Contact:  Bill  W. Taylor
                                             Executive Vice President,

Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. (JXVL - NASDAQ) has received Office of Thrift 
Supervision approval to repurchase up to 5% of its outstanding shares, or 
120,784 shares, commencing on or about August 14, 1998.   The shares will be 
purchased at the prevailing market prices from time-to-time depending on 
market conditions.

Jerry Chancellor, President and Chief Executive Officer, indicated that the 
Board of Directors approved the repurchase program in view of the current 
price level of the Company's common stock and the strong capital position of 
the Company and its subsidiaries.  Management believes that the repurchase of
its shares represents an attractive investment opportunity which will benefit
Jacksonville and its stockholders.  The repurchased shares will become 
treasury shares available for general corporate purposes.

Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. is the holding company for Jacksonville Savings 
Bank, S.S.B. and Jacksonville I. H. C.  The Jacksonville Savings Bank, S.S.B.
operates from its home office in Jacksonville, Texas and through its branch 
network in Tyler, Longview, Palestine, Athens and Rusk.  At March 31, 1998,
