FIRST NATIONAL BANK SHOWS RECORD GROWTH

First National Bank had a record performance in 1990, Samuel H. Tollison, president, said.

Earnings ended the year at about $2.8 million. Year-end assets were estimated at $275 million and deposits at $247 million. The bank's loan reserves exceed 1.23 percent.

The Board of Directors approved a dividend of $1 per share, an 11 percent increase over the same period last year.
