       [LETTER HEAD OF COMMUNITY TRUST FINANCIAL SERVICES APPEARS HERE]


April 26, 1999



Dear Shareholder,

As you know, our company completed a very successful stock offering in 1998,
selling 294,118 shares of common stock to increase shareholders' equity in
Community Trust Financial Services by approximately $5,000,000.  Although many
of our existing shareholders and other people who knew us well here in Paulding
County bought much of the stock, Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc.("Morgan Keegan"),
who acted as placement agent for the offering helped us sell the rest.  Our
company has enjoyed a long relationship with Knox Wall, a division of Morgan
Keegan, in other matters for the Bank, and we were very pleased to have their
assistance in 1998.

It is my pleasure now to announce that Morgan Keegan, will begin trading stock
in Community Trust Financial Services.  As a market maker in our stock, Morgan
Keegan will facilitate trades, therefore providing our shareholders with the
ability to buy or sell company stock more easily.  We have just completed the
registration process to be listed on the OTC (Over the Counter) Bulletin Board;
and our stock is being traded under the symbol CTFV.

We at Community Trust are excited about this next step in the success and growth
of our company. Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. is a member of the New York Stock
Exchange, and we're proud to continue our relationship with Knox Wall, as a
division of Morgan Keegan.  You will find enclosed a letter from Knox Wall
explaining their services in buying or selling our stock.  Please direct any
questions you may have to John Thornton at Knox Wall, or to Angel Byrd, our
controller at Community Trust.

Sincerely,



/s/Ronnie Austin
