Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS

(a)  On October 27, 1994, officials of the registrant, First
     National Bancorp ("First Bancorp"), Gainesville, Georgia, and
     FF Bancorp, Inc. ("FF Bancorp"), New Smyrna Beach, Florida,
     signed a Letter of Intent of merger whereby First Bancorp will
     acquire all the outstanding stock of the $597 million asset FF
     Bancorp in a tax free exchange of stock whereby each share of
     FF Bancorp stock will be exchanged for .825 shares of First
     Bancorp $1.00 par value common stock in a transaction to be
     accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of
     accounting.  FF Bancorp currently has outstanding 4,677,435
     shares of common stock, and approximately 84,806 option shares
     under option agreements which will be exercised at times which
     will not violate the pooling-of-interests method of accounting
     for the transaction.  No cash, except for fractional shares,
     will be offered in the transaction.  Following the signing of
     the Letter of Intent, First Bancorp and FF Bancorp will
     prepare and execute a definitive agreement of merger.  The
     merger is subject to the execution of a definitive agreement,
     FF Bancorp shareholder approval and the approval of various
     state and federal regulatory authorities.

     Currently, total consolidated assets of FF Bancorp are $597
     million and common shareholders equity is $48 million.  FF
     Bancorp is the parent holding company of (1) First Federal

     located in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, (2) First Federal

     headquartered in Inverness, Florida, and (3) Key Bank of
     Florida, a $66 million asset commercial bank located in Tampa,
     Florida.

     If consummated as planned, this will be First Bancorp's first
     out of state merger.

     in Gainesville, Georgia with 17 subsidiary banks and 54
