The Home National Bank.

The Home National Bank, of this
town has just received it's charter from
the government, as will be seen by
reference to the notice published in
another column. The Home National
succeeds The Home Bank, which was
oaganized in 1908.
The new bank will have as its presi-
dent Samuel B. George, whose term
will expire as clerk of the court early
next year. MIR. George is fine busi-
ness man. Heis acquainted with
nearly every man in the county which
better qualities him for the duties OF
bank president Mr.. George was
reared in Lexington and from early
youth has been recognized as one of
the leaders in political, business and
church affairs. That he will make a
fine officer, goes without saying.
Alfred J. Fox, to whose efforts the
organization of the Home National is
largely due, will continue to hold the
position of cashier which position he
has held with The Home Bank since
it's establishment. Mr.. Fox is recog-
nized as one of the leading f1nanciers
in the State. He is a young man less
than IS years of age and has had 12
years experience in the banking busi-
ness. He is largely engaged in the
insurance and real estate business and
has never let an opportunity pass to
work for the upbuilding of his home
town and the institutions in which he
is interested. 1t is indeed gratifying
to his friends that he has been
successful in his last undertaking.
Karl F. Oswald, who has been the
very efficient and popular assistant
cashier of the Home Bank for the
past few years, will continue in the
same capacity with The, Home Ma
tional. He is young man of fine
business ability and knows every
phase of the banking business. He
is a son of the late F. w. Oswald
and is deservedly popular.
DR.. J. E. Kaufman, who has been
D, esident of the Home Bank since the
death of Mr.. F. W. Oswald, about
year ago, become vice-president OF
The Home National. DR.. Kaufman
ia president of the Kaufman Drng
Co., of tt is town, one of the largest
drng stores in this section of the State.
and is successful business man.
The Home National will have a
strong board of directors, the follow
ing gentlemen having been named by
the stockholders: Samuel B. George,
Julian E. Kaufman, Alfred j: Fox,
Karl F. Oswald, DR.. J. j. W;ngard,
DR.. Jas P. Drafts, The Hon. Simon P.
Wingard, The Hon. W. H. Sharpe,
and Col. G. T. Graham.
The new bank cannot but prosper
under the supervision of the above
named gentlemen.
