                           (i)     sole power to vote or to direct the vote:

                                   disposition of:
                                   65,857

                  There are 65,857 common shares owned by the Peoples Financial
                  Corporation  Employee  Stock  Ownership  Plan (the  "Plan").
                  United  National  Bank & Trust Company is the Trustee of the
                  Plan.  Under the terms of the Plan and the Trust  Agreement,
                  the  Trustee  votes  all  of  the  shares  allocated  to the
                  accounts of participants as directed by the  participants to
                  whose accounts such shares have been allocated. With respect
                  to  unallocated  shares or allocated  shares with respect to
                  which no instructions have been received,  the Plan provides
                  that the  Trustee  shall vote such  shares in the  Trustee's
                  discretion.  As of December 31,  1999,  52,962 of the shares
                  had  been  allocated  to Plan  participants.  The  Plan  was
                  terminated  effective  September  30,  1999,  but the  Trust
                  continues   to  hold  the   shares   until  it   receives  a
                  determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service.

<PAGE>
                  Although  the Trustee has general  authority  to sell  assets,
                  because  the Plan  provides  that  the  Trustee  is to  invest
                  primarily in shares of the issuer, the authority to dispose of
                  such shares is limited by the Plan.

                  United  National  Bank & Trust Company is also the Trustee for
                  the Peoples  Financial  Corporation  Recognition and Retention
                  Plan and  Trust  (the  "RRP"),  which  held  40,562  shares at
                  December  31,  1999.  Pursuant  to the  terms of the RRP,  the
                  Trustee has voting but not  dispositive  power over the shares
                  held in the RRP.
