ITEM 1.	SECURITY AND ISSUER.

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, $1.00 par
value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Doughtie's Foods, Inc., a Virginia 
corporation (the "Company"), which has its principal executive offices at 
2410 Wesley Street, Portsmouth, Virginia 23707.

ITEM 2.	IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

This Schedule is being filed on behalf of Performance Food 
Group Company ("PFG"), a Tennessee corporation engaged in the 
foodservice distribution business.

PFG's principal business address is 6800 Paragon Place, Suite 
500, Richmond, Virginia  23230.  Information with respect to the 
executive officers and directors of PFG is incorporated herein by 
reference to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended 
December 27, 1997.  During the last five years, none of PFG, its 
executive officers or directors has been convicted in a criminal 
proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors); and 
none of PFG, its executive officers or directors has been a party to a civil 
proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction 
and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree 
or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating 
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any 
violation with respect to such laws.

ITEM 3.	SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

The purchase price for the 110,750 shares of Common Stock (the 
"Shares") beneficially owned by PFG was funded from PFG's working 
capital.

ITEM 4.	PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

The Shares were acquired by PFG for the purpose of investment. 
 The Company is a customer of PFG's subsidiary that provides 
procurement and merchandising services.  PFG has a very high regard 
for the Company's management and has held discussions from time to 
time with the Company's management regarding the Company, and 
anticipates that it will continue to have these discussions with the 
Company's management in the future. On January 4, 1999, the Company announced
that it had engaged a financial advisor for the purpose of attempting to
maximize shareholder value and had directed the financial advisor to examine
the Company's options, including the possibility of a sale of the Company.
The financial advisor has contacted PFG, and PFG has had preliminary
discussions with the Company and its financial advisor.  PFG may continue to
have discussions with the Company and its financial advisor and expects to
continue to explore from time to time the alternatives described below.
Because PFG initially inadvertently purchased more than five percent of the
outstanding Common Stock, in addition to the information set forth below, PFG
may sell a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to reduce its holdings
below five percent.

In the ordinary course of its business, PFG from time to time 
reviews the performance of its investments and considers possible 
strategies for enhancing value.  As part of its review of its investment in 
the Shares, PFG may explore from time to time in the future a variety of 
alternatives, including, without limitation:  (a) the acquisition of 
additional securities of the Company or the disposition of securities of 
the Company; (b) an extraordinary corporation transaction, such as a 
merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of 
its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the 
Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) a change in the present Board of 
Directors or management of the Company; (e) any material change in the 
present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other 
material change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (g) 
causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a 
national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in 
an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities 
association; (h) causing a class of equity securities of the Company 
becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 
12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (i) any 
action similar to any of those enumerated above.  There is no assurance 
that PFG will develop any plans or proposals with respect to any of the 
foregoing matters.  Any alternatives which PFG may pursue will depend 
upon a variety of factors, including, without limitation, current and 
anticipated future trading prices for the Shares, the financial condition, 
results of operations and prospects of the Company and general 
economic, financial market and industry conditions.
