         Re: Registration Statement of Form S-2

Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to FNB Financial Services Corporation (the
"Company") in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement on
Form S-2 (No. 333-47203) (the "Initial Registration Statement") relating to the
registration of up to 747,500 shares, including shares subject to Underwriters'
over-allotments, if any (the "Initial Shares"), of the Company's common stock,
par value $1.00 per share ("Common Stock") filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act"), on March 3, 1998, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on April 1, 1998,
incorporated by reference into the Company's registration statement on Form S-2
filed on April 14, 1998 pursuant to Rule 462(b) (the "462(b) Registration
Statement" and together with the Initial Registration Statement, the
"Registration Statement") under which an additional 149,500 shares of Common
Stock are being registered (the "462(b) Shares" and together with the Initial
Shares, the "Shares"). The Shares will be sold pursuant to an underwriting
agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") by and between the Company and
Interstate/Johnson Lane Corporation, as representative of the several
underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement. This opinion is in addition to
the opinion of our firm dated March 31, 1998, which was filed as Exhibit 5.01 to
Amendment No. 1 to the Initial Registration Statement, filed with the Commission
on April 1, 1998.

         We have examined the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of
the Company, in the form in which such Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation are to be filed by the Company with the North Carolina Secretary
of State (and have assumed, for purposes of our opinion set forth below, that
such Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation have been so filed), the
Bylaws of the Company, as amended, minutes of meetings of its Board of
Directors, and such other corporate records of the Company and other documents
and have made such examinations of law as we have deemed necessary for purposes
of this opinion.

         Based on and subject to the foregoing and to the additional
qualifications set forth below, it is our opinion that the 462(b) Shares which
are being registered pursuant to the 462(b) Registration Statement will, when
issued and delivered against payment therefor as contemplated in the
Registration Statement and the Underwriting Agreement, be legally issued, fully
paid and nonassessable.

         We hereby consent to the reference to our firm under the heading "Legal
Matters" in the Registration Statement and to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement. Such consent shall not be deemed to be an
admission that this firm is within the category of persons whose consent is
required under Section 7 of the Act or the regulations promulgated pursuant to
the Act.

         This opinion is limited to the laws of the State of North Carolina and
no opinion is expressed as to the laws of any other jurisdiction.

         The opinion expressed herein does not extend to compliance with federal
and state securities law relating to the sale of the Shares.

         This opinion is rendered solely for your benefit in connection with the
transaction described above and may not be used or relied upon by any other
person without prior written consent in each instance.

                                        Sincerely yours,

                                        /s/ SMITH, ANDERSON, BLOUNT, DORSETT,
                                          MITCHELL & JERNIGAN, L.L.P.

                                        SMITH, ANDERSON, BLOUNT, DORSETT,
                                          MITCHELL & JERNIGAN, L.L.P.

               CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


The Board of Directors
FNB Financial Services Corporation:


We consent to the inclusion in the Registration Statement of FNB Financial
Services Corporation on Form S-2 filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) relating to the

Prospectus, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-2
(the earlier Registration Statement, as so amended, the "Registration
Statement"), of our report dated February 10, 1998, relating to the consolidated
balance sheets of FNB Financial Services Corporation and Subsidiary as of
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related consolidated statements of income,
changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1997, which report appears in the
