THE GUERNSEY NATIONAL BANK.—Among the most reliable fiduciary institutions of this county and eastern Ohio, we notice especially the Guernsey National Bank which is recognized among the solid banking houses of the state. In its interior arrangement this bank is fitted up in metropolitan style, with burglar proof, time-lock safe, and secure vaults, affording the amplest protection to depositors and securities while the judicious and liberal business policy characterizing its management, have contributed in a marked degree to the promotion of the best interests of our business and general trade operations. The Guernsey National Bank was duly organized and chartered in 1872, under the national banking system, with a capital stock of $100,000. Its board of directors and officers are among our best known and most influential citizens and are noticed elsewhere in connection with other enterprises. A general banking business is transacted in the purchase of lands and reliable commercial paper, in loans, discounts, deposits and exchange, with correspondents in the chief cities of the union. Its large list of depositors and certificate holders embrace many of our leading citizens and business firms besides farmers and capitalists in various sections of this and adjoining counties. The officers of this bank are J. D. Taylor, president; A. A. Taylor, cashier, and C. F. Craig, assistant cashier. The board of directors consist of: J. D. Taylor, W. H. F. Lenfestey, Samuel Craig, John Heaume, Ebenezer Johnston, Thos. McFarland, John Ogier, Geo. H. Boetcher, A. A. Taylor.

Engaging in his present business for himself in 1867 he has enjoyed a liberal trade from our leading citizens and business men.

He was reared on the farm, and his present position and distinction as a prominent member of the bar of this county and influential citizen is largely due to his personal ability and perseverance. He was educated at Muskingum college from which he graduated in 1878. He commenced the study of law with Judge Campbell and was admitted to the bar in 1880. After practicing here a short time he went west and remained until 1885 when he formed a partnership with Mr. J. O.

PARK HOTEL, Joseph Morton Proprietor, Cliff Morton clerk, Eighth Street Opposite Court House.—The admirable location of this house, in its proximity to the business of this city as well as the attractions and appointments of the house, make it of special consideration to the best class of the traveling public and regular boarders. The building is a handsome and attractive structure and contains about thirty conveniently arranged and finely furnished rooms, which are kept in the most cleanly and perfect order, lighted by manufactured gas, and heated by natural gas. The table d'hote in its cuisine and appointments will bear favorable comparison with the first-class hotels of our leading cities and no pains are spared on the part of its proprietor and courteous assistants, to secure the pleasure and comfort of guests. The best sample rooms are provided for commercial travelers and a free hack attends all trains.

Its first efforts in sinking wells were not successful in securing natural gas in sufficient quantities, and the old wells were almost entirely abandoned while new wells were sunk in a different location in the same field. Further drilling was done in the Robin's field about two miles northeast of the city, with good results. Four excellent wells are now in operation and the supply of gas promises to meet the local demand for manufacturing, illuminating and heating purposes. The officers of this company are T. H. Anderson, president; M. D. Robins, vice president; W. H. McFarland, secretary; A. A. Taylor, treasurer, and J. P. Brown, superintendent.
