D. F. Ford-president or the Lov-
ing State Bank, organized that in-
stitution 22 year* ago. During this
long period he has been of great
service to that section of the county,
and has proven himself an 'oatstand-

bank and in the capacity of chair-
man qf the Young County Bankers*
Association, he has earned the re-
spect and admiration both .of his
fellow bankers and of the citinenship
of the county.
As far as could, be ascertained
neither Mr. Ford nor Mr. MiHican
have announced definite plans for the
future. Both own considerable real
estate and farming interests, and it
is expected that this will eecupy
