The following information replaces the similar information found in
"Transaction Details" beginning on page 27.
FIDELITY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEDUCT AN ANNUAL MAINTENANCE FEE of $12.00
from accounts with a value of less than $2,500, subject to an annual
maximum charge of $24.00 per shareholder. It is expected that accounts will
be valued on the second Friday in November of each year. Accounts opened
after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that year. The fee,
which is payable to the transfer agent, is designed to offset in part the
relatively higher costs of servicing smaller accounts. This fee will not be
deducted from Fidelity brokerage accounts, retirement accounts (except
non-prototype retirement accounts), accounts using regular investment
plans, or if total assets in Fidelity exceed $30,000. Eligibility for the
$30,000 waiver is determined by aggregating Fidelity accounts maintained by
FSC or FBSI which are registered under the same Social Security number or
which list the same Social Security number for the custodian of a Uniform
Gifts/Transfers to Minors Act account.

maintenance fee if your balance falls below $2,500. See "Transaction

ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES are paid out of the fund's assets. The fund
pays a management fee to FMR. It also incurs other expenses for services
such as maintaining shareholder records and furnishing shareholder
statements and financial reports. The fund's expenses are factored into its
share price or dividends and are not charged directly to shareholder
accounts (see page 15).
The following figures are based on historical expenses, adjusted to reflect
current fees, and are calculated as a percentage of average net assets.
SPARTAN FLORIDA INCOME
Management fee (after reimbursement)   .39%   
 
12b-1 fee                              None   
 
Other expenses                         .16%   
 
Total fund operating expenses          .55%   
(after reimbursement)                         
 
EXAMPLES: Let's say, hypothetically, that the fund's annual return is 5%
and that its operating expenses are exactly as just described. For every
$1,000 you invested, here's how much you would pay in total expenses after
the number of years indicated:
After 1 year     $ 6                      
 
After 3 years    $ 18                     
 
After 5 years    $ 31                     
 
After 10 years   $ 69                     
 
These examples illustrate the effect of expenses, but are not meant to
suggest actual or expected costs or returns, all of which may vary.
Effective April 1, 1997, FMR voluntarily agreed to implement an expense
cap. FMR will reimburse the fund to the extent that total operating
expenses exceeds .55%. If this agreement was not in effect, the management
fee and total operating expenses would be .40% and .56%, respectively.
