                      INTRODUCTION

     This Proxy Statement and accompanying proxy are
furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by
the Board of Directors of Pikeville National Corporation
(the "Company") for use at the Special Meeting of Shareholders
(the "Special Meeting") to be held on August 15, 1996, at 10:00 
a.m. (EST), at the principal offices of the Company, 208 North 
Mayo Trail, Fourth Floor, Pikeville, Kentucky, and any adjournments 
thereof.

     The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by
the Company.  In addition to the use of the mails, proxies
may be solicited in person, by telephone and other means of
communication by directors, officers, and other employees of
the Company, none of whom will receive additional
compensation for such services.  The Company will also
request brokerage houses, custodians and nominees to forward
soliciting materials to the beneficial owners of stock held
of record by them, and will pay the reasonable expenses of
such persons for forwarding such materials.  This Proxy
Statement and the accompanying proxy are first being mailed
or given to shareholders of the Company on or about July 15,
1996.

              RECORD DATE AND VOTING SECURITIES

     The Common Stock of Pikeville National Corporation
("Common Stock") is the only class of outstanding voting
securities of the Corporation.  Only holders of Common Stock
of record at the close of business on July 8, 1996 (the
"Record Date") are entitled to notice of and to vote at the
Special Meeting.  At the Record Date, there were 9,124,314
shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Shareholders will be
entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of
record on the Record Date with regard to Proposal No. 1 at
the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

     Each proxy, unless the shareholder otherwise specifies,
will be voted in favor of Proposal No. 1 to amend the
Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the Company's
name to "Community Trust Bancorp, Inc."  Where a shareholder
has appropriately specified how the proxy is to be voted, it
will be voted accordingly.  A shareholder may revoke his or
her proxy at any time prior to its exercise.  Revocation may
be effected by written notice to the Company, by a
subsequently dated proxy received by the Company, or by oral
revocation in person at the Special Meeting or any
adjournment thereof, or by voting in person at the Special
Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

     A majority of the outstanding shares present in person
or by proxy is required to constitute a quorum to transact
business at the Special Meeting.   Abstentions will be
treated as present for purposes of determining a quorum, but
as unvoted shares for purposes of determining the approval
of any matter submitted to the shareholders for a vote.  If
a broker indicates that it does not have discretionary
authority as to certain shares to vote on a particular
matter, such shares will not be considered as present and
entitled to vote with respect to such matter.

  PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE COMPANY'S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

     Pursuant to Section 271B.10-030 of the Kentucky
Business Corporation Act, the Company may amend its Articles
of Incorporation to change the name of the Company from
"Pikeville National Corporation" to "Community Trust
Bancorp, Inc." (the "Amendment") only upon the approval of a
majority of the votes of the shares of Common Stock of the
Company present at the Special Meeting in person or by proxy
and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.  The Board of
Directors has adopted the Amendment and recommends that the
shareholders approve the Amendment at the Special Meeting.
<PAGE>
     The Board of Directors recommends the Amendment as part
of an overall plan of reorganization for the Company and its
subsidiaries (the "Reorganization").  The Reorganization was
first publicly announced on June 28, 1996, and provides for
the merger of all of the Company's state chartered and
nationally chartered banking affiliates (the "Affiliates")
with and into Pikeville National Bank & Trust Company
("PNB"), the Company's lead banking affiliate.  Trust
Company of Kentucky and Community Trust Bank, FSB will
remain independent subsidiaries of the Company under the
Reorganization. On July 1, 1996, PNB and the Affiliates
jointly filed an application to merge with the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC").  The application
requests that the Reorganization be effective January 1,
1997.

     Also as part of the Reorganization, PNB will change its
chartered name from "Pikeville National Bank & Trust
Company" to "Community Trust Bank, National Association".
Changing the name of the Company to "Community Trust
Bancorp, Inc." is consistent with the Reorganization and
will identify the Company with PNB and its banking and
financial services.  If the Amendment is approved by the
shareholders the Company will operate under its current name
until January 1, 1997, the effective date of the
Reorganization, at which time the Company will file Articles
of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth
of Kentucky to change the Company's name to "Community Trust
Bancorp, Inc." and will file a Certificate of Assumed Name
in the name "Pikeville National Corporation."

     Subsequent to the effective date of the Reorganization,
all of the Affiliates will be branch offices of PNB.  The
Company, with input from each Affiliate, will determine
whether each Affiliate, as a branch of PNB subsequent to the
Reorganization, will operate under the name "Pikeville
National Bank & Trust Company," "Community Trust Bank,
National Association," or the name previously used by such
branch when it was an affiliate banking association (i.e.,
The Woodford Bank and Trust Company, Farmers National Bank,
etc.).

     The Board of Directors believes that the Amendment will
enhance the ability of the Company to market the various
financial services offered through its subsidiaries by
maintaining consistency between the Company's name and PNB's
name.  If the Amendment is approved, the Company's NASDAQ
ticker symbol will change from "PKVL" to "CTBI" on January
1, 1997.

     The following table sets forth information as to each
