Ernest Rathell Gets
Deserved Promotion

Sergeant Ernest F. Rathell, who has
been in France for number of months,
will find a pleasant surprise awaiting
him upon his return to Lexington, when
he is finally discharged from the United
States army At recent meeting Of the
directors of the Bank of Lexington, Mr.,
Rathell was elected to the important posi-
ton of Cashier of the bank. This posi-
tion has been held by Stephen L, Burweil
for the past twelve years. Mr.. Burweil
will continue to be actively in charge of
the affairs of the bank, as active vice
president.
Ernest Rathel has host of friends in
the county who win be pleased to note
his advancement. They have watched
his gradual rise in our business circles
with pride. When he left the Lexington
high school about ten years ago, he went
with the Bank of Lexington, as runner,
since that time he has been promoted
from one position to another, having for
the past few years been assistant cashier.
The Bank of Lexington is to be con-
graduated on showing its appreciation
of the valued services rendered by Mr.
Rathell, and also for bestowing reward
upon one of our boys who voluntarily
placed himself in the service Of his coun-
try, 1t is very fitting that we show our
appreciation for the boys who, probably
would have never returned to US had not
the armistiee been signed, at the time they
were ready for the great drive at the
Huns.
The latest letter from Mr.. Rathell to
his family states that, in all probability
his division will leave France early In
August and that he will reach Lexington
some time in that month.
The Bank Of Lexington has had many
changes in its force, since the gTeatswai
began. We have been informed. however
by its officials, that the bank will Be ready
for the fall rush of business with one oi
the most efficient organizations to b.
found in banking circles anywhere. Th'
official "line up" is IS follows: w. o
Barrett, president; e. +, Noel, vice pres
ident; Stephen L. Burwell, active vic'
president; Ernest F. Rathell, cashier
Joseph A. Logue (who is just out Of thu
navy) assistant cashier; Miss Maud'
Mangum, general bookkeeper, and Mis-
LYDIA Eubank, bookkeeper, The director'
of the bank are w. o. Barrett, j. L. Nc
