                             PART I.

Item 1. Business

(a)   General Development of Business

C  B  & T, Inc. ("C B & T") was incorporated in October, 1981  to
take   advantage  of  the  opportunities  afforded  bank  holding
companies for expansion of banking operations and diversification
into  activities closely related to banking.  In September, 1982,
C B & T commenced operations as a registered bank holding company
and  The  City  Bank  and  Trust Company  became  a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of C B & T.  C B & T engages and proposes to engage in
various  business  activities permitted bank  holding  companies,
either  directly, through newly formed subsidiaries,  or  through
acquisitions.   In  1983, the name of The  City  Bank  and  Trust
Company  was  changed to City Bank & Trust Company ("the  Bank").
The  Bank  extended  its services into DeKalb County,  Tennessee,
with  the  July,  1983, acquisition of the assets  of  The  First
Central  Bank,  Smithville, Tennessee, from the  Federal  Deposit
Insurance   Corporation  (the  "FDIC").   The  Bank  subsequently
reopened  the  offices of The First Central Bank  as  the  Bank's
Smithville Branch.

CBT  Realty,  Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation,
was  formed  for  the purpose of holding and  disposing  of  real
estate acquired through foreclosure.

During 1996, the Corporation formed CBT Insurance, Inc., a wholly-
owned  subsidiary of the Corporation, for the purpose of  selling
insurance services.

(b)   Financial Information About Industry Segments

C  B  &  T  is a financial services organization incorporated  in
Tennessee  and registered under the Bank Holding Company  Act  of
1956,  as  amended (the "Bank Holding Company  Act").   The  Bank
which  is  a  wholly-owned subsidiary of C B &  T,  services  the
Warren  County  and  DeKalb  County,  Tennessee  trade  area  and
provides traditional banking services throughout the area.

(c)   Narrative Description of Business

Supervision and Regulation

As  a  registered bank holding company within the meaning of  the
Bank  Holding Company Act, the financial condition and operations
of  C  B  &  T as well as those of its subsidiary are subject  to
examination  and  supervision by the Board of  Governors  of  the
Federal Reserve System (the "Board of Governors").  C B  &  T  is
required to file with the Board of Governors an annual report and
such additional information as may be required.  The Bank Holding
Company Act generally limits the business in which a bank holding
company may engage to banking, managing or controlling banks, and
furnishing or performing services for the banks controlled by it.
The  major  exception to this rule is that, pursuant  to  Section
4(c)(8)  of the Bank Holding Company Act, a bank holding  company
may engage in non-banking activities which, or may acquire shares
in  any  company the activities of which, the Board of  Governors
has  determined, by regulation or order, to be so closely related
to  banking  or managing or controlling banks as to be  a  proper
incident thereto.  The non-banking activities of C B & T and  the
Bank are so limited.

The Bank Holding Company Act requires that a bank holding company
obtain  prior  approval  of the Board  of  Governors  before  (1)
acquiring  directly  or  indirectly (except  in  certain  limited
circumstances) ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting
stock of a bank, (2) acquiring substantially all of the assets of

                                                                               
<PAGE>  3



Item 1. Business-Continued

a  bank, or (3) merging or consolidated with another bank holding
company.  The Bank Holding Company Act provides that the Board of
Governors  shall  not  approve any such acquisition,  merger,  or
consolidation:   (a) which would result in a monopoly,  or  which
would  be  in  furtherance of any combination  or  conspiracy  to
monopolize or to attempt to monopolize the business of banking in
any part of the United States; or (b) the effect of which, in any
section   of   the  country,  may  be  to  substantially   lessen
competition,  or to tend to create a monopoly, or  which  in  any
other manner would be in restraint of trade, unless the Board  of
Governors finds that the anti-competitive effects of the proposed
transaction are clearly outweighed in the public interest by  the
probable effect of the transaction in meeting the convenience and
needs of the community to be served.  In conducting its review of
any  application for approval the Board of Governors is  required
to  consider  the financial and managerial resources  and  future
prospects  of  the company or companies and the banks  concerned,
and the convenience and needs of the community to be served.  The
Bank  Holding  Company Act further requires that consummation  of
approved acquisitions or mergers be delayed for a period  of  not
less  than  30  days following the date of such  approval  during
which  time company parties may obtain a review of the  Board  of
Governors' order by filing a petition praying that the  order  be
set  aside in the United States Court of Appeals for the District
of  Columbia Circuit, or in the Court of Appeals for the  circuit
in  which  the  complaining party has his, her, or its  principal
place  of business.  If no action based on the antitrust laws  is
commenced  before the termination of the thirty-day  period,  the
acquisition  or  merger may not thereafter  be  attacked  in  any
judicial  proceeding on the ground that it alone  and  of  itself
constituted a violation of any antitrust laws other than  Section
2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Except  in  certain circumstances, the Bank Holding  Company  Act
also  prohibits  a  bank holding company from  acquiring  a  bank
outside  the  state  where  the bank  holding  company's  banking
business  is principally conducted, unless the laws of the  state
where  the  bank  is  located specifically,  and  not  merely  by
implication,  authorize such acquisitions  by  out-of-state  bank
holding  companies.   The Tennessee General  Assembly  enacted  a
national  reciprocal  interstate banking act  permitting  banking
combinations  with banking institutions located anywhere  in  the
United States, which became effective January 1, 1991.

Effective September 29, 1995, the Riegle-Neal Interstate  Banking
and  Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 ("IBBEA") amends  the  Bank
Holding  Company Act of 1956 to permit a bank holding company  to
acquire   a  bank  located  in  any  state,  provided  that   the
acquisition   does  not  result  in  the  bank  holding   company
controlling more than 10% of the deposits in the United States or
30% of deposits in the state in which the bank to be acquired  is
located.   A  state may waive the 30% deposit limitation.   IBBEA
also permits individual states to restrict the ability of an out-
of-state bank holding company or bank to acquire an instate  bank
that  has  been  in  existence for less than five  years  and  to
establish  a state concentration limit of less than 30%  if  such
reduced  limit  does not discriminate against  out-of-state  bank
holding companies or banks.


Effective  June 1, 1997, an "adequately capitalized"  bank,  with
the approval of the appropriate federal banking agency, may merge
with  another adequately capitalized bank in any state  that  has
not  opted  out of interstate branching and operate the  target's
offices  as  branches if certain conditions are  satisfied.   The
same  national (10%) and state (30%) deposit concentration limits
and any applicable state minimum-existence restrictions (up to  a
maximum  of  five  years)  apply  to  interstate  mergers  as  to
interstate acquisitions.  The applicant also must comply with any
nondiscriminatory host state filing and notice  requirements  and
demonstrate  a record of compliance with applicable  federal  and
state  community  reinvestment laws.  A  state  may  opt  out  of
interstate  branching  by enacting a law  before  June  1,  1997,
expressly prohibiting interstate merger transactions.


<PAGE>  4



Item 1. Business-Continued

Under  IBBEA,  the  resulting bank to an  interstate  merger  may
establish  or  acquire additional branches at any location  in  a
state  where any of the banks involved in the merger  could  have
established or acquired a branch.  A bank also may acquire one or
more  branches of an out-of-state bank if the law of the target's
home  state  permits such action.  In addition, IBBEA  permits  a
bank  to establish a de novo branch in another state if the  host
state by statute expressly permits de novo interstate branching.

IBBEA also permits a bank subsidiary of a bank holding company to
act  as agent for other depository institutions owned by the same
holding company for purposes of receiving deposits, renewing time
deposits, closing or servicing loans, and receiving loan payments
effective  as  of  September 29, 1995.  Under  IBBEA,  a  savings
association  may perform similar agency services  for  affiliated
banks  to  the extent that the savings association was affiliated
with  a  bank  on July 1, 1994, and satisfies certain  additional
requirements.

The Federal Reserve Act imposes strict limitations on investments
by  subsidiary  banks in the stock or other securities  of  their
parent bank holding company or any of its other subsidiaries  and
on the taking of such stock or securities as collateral for loans
to  any  borrowers.  In addition, the Federal Reserve Act imposes
strict limitations on extensions of credit and other transactions
by  and  between subsidiary banks and their parent  bank  holding
company or any of its other subsidiaries.  The 1974 Amendments to
the  Federal  Reserve  Act also granted the  Board  of  Governors
discretionary  authority  to  regulate  interest  rates  on  debt
obligations  issued by bank holding company affiliates  of  banks
which  are members of the Federal Reserve System.  This authority
does not extend to commercial paper.

The  Bank Holding Company Act, as amended, and regulations of the
Board of Governors thereunder prohibit a bank holding company and
its subsidiaries from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements  in
connection  with  any  extension of credit,  lease,  or  sale  of
property or the furnishing of services.  The Bank Holding Company
Act  requires  that a corporation, partnership, trust,  or  other
specified  entity obtain prior approval of the Board of Governors
before taking any action that causes the corporation to become  a
bank  holding company, which may occur if it acquires  ownership,
control, or the power to vote 25% or more of any class of  voting
securities of a bank, or if it otherwise controls the election of
a  majority  of  the directors of the bank, or if  the  Board  of
Governors  determines  that it exercises a controlling  influence
over  the management or policies of the bank.  Although the  Bank
Holding Company Act does not apply to the acquisition of  a  bank
by  an  individual, any individual or group of individuals acting
in  concert  that proposes to acquire control of a  bank  insured
under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or the control of a  bank
holding  company that has control of any such insured bank,  must
provide  sixty  days  prior  written notice  to  the  appropriate
federal banking agency, which may disapprove the proposed  action
under  certain standards specified in the Change in Bank  Control
Act.   For  purposes of the Change in Bank Control  Act,  control
means the power to direct the management or policies of the  bank
or  to vote 25% or more of any class of voting securities of  the
bank.   Bank  holding  company acquisitions  of  banks  and  bank
holding  companies  pursuant to certain provisions  of  the  Bank
Holding  Company Act are exempt from the Change in  Bank  Control
Act.

Tennessee Bank Holding Company Regulation

C  B  & T is prohibited under Tennessee law from acquiring a bank
outside  the  four  major metropolitan areas  (Shelby,  Davidson,
Knox,   and   Hamilton  Counties  in  which  Memphis,  Nashville,
Knoxville, and Chattanooga are located, respectively) unless  the
bank  has  been  incorporated more  than  five  years  or  is  in


<PAGE>  5



Item 1. Business-Continued

financial  difficulty as determined by the appropriate regulatory
agency  and  the  regulatory agency approves the acquisition.   A
bank  holding company is prohibited from acquiring any  Tennessee
bank if the holding company's banks control as much as 16 1/2% of
the   total   deposits   in  all  federally   insured   financial
institutions in Tennessee.  Tennessee banking laws permit a  bank
to  serve  as  the  agent of another bank  for  the  purposes  of
accepting deposits, loan payments, or other payments of funds  on
behalf  of  the  bank  without regard to  the  locations  of  the
respective  banks.  Under Tennessee law, banks may branch  state-
wide,  subject  in  certain instances  to  the  approval  by  the
Tennessee Commissioner of Financial Institutions.

The Bank

The  operations of the Bank are affected by various  requirements
and restrictions imposed by the laws of the United States and the
State  of  Tennessee, including requirements to maintain reserves
against deposits, limitations on the interest rates that  may  be
paid on various types of deposits, and restrictions on the nature
and  amount  of  loans that may be granted and on  the  types  of
investments  that may be made.  The operations of  the  Bank  are
also affected by various consumer laws and regulations, including
those  relating  to  equal credit opportunity and  regulation  of
consumer  lending  practices.  All subsidiary  banks  of  a  bank
holding  company must become and remain insured banks  under  the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act.

The Bank is chartered under the banking laws of Tennessee and, as
such  is  subject  to  the applicable provisions  of  such  laws.
Tennessee  banks are required to maintain certain  cash  reserves
either directly or indirectly.  As a member of the FDIC, the Bank
is  subject  to  the provisions of the Federal Deposit  Insurance
Act.  The bank, as a state bank whose deposits are insured by the
FDIC, may not engage as principal in any type of activity that is
impermissible for a national bank, unless the FDIC has determined
that  the  activity  would  not pose a significant  risk  to  the
deposit  insurance  fund  and the Bank meets  applicable  capital
standards.   The  Bank  is  subject to  supervision  and  regular
examination  by  the  FDIC  and by the  Tennessee  Department  of
Financial  Institutions.  A Tennessee bank may declare  dividends
not  more  than once in each calendar quarter from its  undivided
profits account.

Community Investment

The   Bank   is  subject  to  the  provisions  of  the  Community
Reinvestment  Act  ("CRA").  Under  this  Act,  the  Bank  has  a
continuing and affirmative obligation, consistent with  safe  and
sound  operation,  to help meet the credit needs  of  its  entire
community, including low and moderate income neighborhoods.   The
CRA  does not establish specific lending requirements or programs
for  financial  institutions, nor does it limit an  institution's
discretion to develop the types of products and services that  it
believes  are best suited to its particular community, consistent
with the CRA.  The CRA requires the FDIC, in connection with  its
examination  of the Bank, to assess the institution's  record  of
meeting the credit needs of its community and to take such record
into  account  in its evaluation of certain applications  by  the
Bank.  Information  concerning  the  Bank's  CRA  rating  can  be
obtained  by contacting its main office at 101 East Main  Street,
McMinnville, TN 37110.

Item 1. Business-Continued

Restrictions on Dividends Paid by Subsidiary Banks

Substantially  all  of the funds available  for  the  payment  of
dividends by C B & T are derived from the Bank.  Both federal and
state laws impose restrictions on the ability of the Bank to  pay
dividends.

The  Tennessee banking statutes provide that the directors  of  a
state  bank,  after making proper deduction for all expenditures,
expenses, taxes, losses, bad debts, and any write-offs  or  other
deductions  required  by the Department of Finance  Institutions,
may  credit net profits to the bank's undivided profits  account,
and therefrom may quarterly, semi-annually, or annually declare a
dividend  in  such  amount as they shall  judge  expedient  after
deducting  any  net loss from the undivided profits  account  and
transferring  to the bank's surplus account (1)  the  amount  (if
any)  required  to raise the surplus to 50% of the capital  stock
and  (2)  an amount, not less than 10% of net profits, until  the
surplus  equals  the capital stock, provided that  the  bank  has
adequately reserved against deposits and such reserve will not be
impaired  by the declaration of the dividend. A state bank,  with
the  approval  of  the Department of Financial Institutions,  may
transfer funds from its surplus account to the undivided  profits
account or any part of its capital stock account.

The  payment  of  dividends by any bank is, of course,  dependent
upon its earnings and financial condition and, in addition to the
limitations referred to above, is subject to the statutory  power
of  certain  federal  and state regulatory  agencies  to  act  to
prevent unsafe or unsound banking practices.

Usury Provisions

The  Constitution  of the State of Tennessee requires  the  state
legislature to fix interest rates in the State of Tennessee.  The
Tennessee  General  Assembly  has  adopted  such  statutes.   The
general  interest rate statutes currently in effect  establish  a
maximum rate of interest at 4% above the average prime loan  rate
(or   the   average  short-term  business  loan   rate,   however
denominated) for the most recent week for which such average rate
has  been  published by the Board of Governors or 24% per  annum,
whichever  is  lower.  In the event that the Board  of  Governors
fails  to publish the average rate for four consecutive weeks  or
the  maximum  rate  of interest should be adjudicated  or  become
inapplicable  for  any reason whatsoever,  the  maximum  rate  of
interest is denied to be 24% until the Tennessee General Assembly
otherwise  provides.   As  of  December  31,  1997,  the  maximum
effective rate in the state of Tennessee was 12.5%.

Although  the  statutory maximum effective rate in the  state  of
Tennessee  as  of  December 31, 1997,  was  12.5%,  decisions  by
Federal  District  Courts  have  held  that  notwithstanding  the
general interest rate statutes described above, the maximum  rate
of  interest that a state bank may charge is 24%, at  least  with
respect  to  the types of loans that a Tennessee industrial  loan
and  thrift company registered under the provisions of  Tennessee
law  would have been authorized to make.  In general, a Tennessee
industrial  loan  and  thrift company  is  authorized  to  charge
interest  at  a  rate  of 24% on loans of $100  or  more.   These
Federal District Court decisions have observed that under federal
law,  a  national  bank can charge interest at the  highest  rate
allowed  by  state  law in the state where the national  bank  is
located  and  held that a national bank in Tennessee  can  charge
interest  at  the  same rate as a Tennessee industrial  loan  and
thrift company.

Tennessee banking laws permit a state bank to make loans upon the
same  terms  and  at  the  maximum  effective  interest  rate  as
authorized  on  credit extended by national banks  in  Tennessee.
These decisions held that a state bank in Tennessee therefore can
charge  the same rate of interest as a Tennessee industrial  loan
and thrift company.


<PAGE>  7       



Item 1. Business-Continued        

The  relative  importance  of the usury  laws  to  the  financial
operations  of  C B & T and the Bank varies from  time  to  time,
depending  on  a number of factors, including conditions  in  the
money  markets,  the  cost  and the availability  of  funds,  and
prevailing interest rates.  The management of  C B & T is  unable
to  state  whether existing usury laws have had or  will  have  a
material adverse effect on the business or earnings of C B & T or
the Bank.

Competition

The  banking business in the areas served by the Bank  is  highly
competitive.   Competition  exists  with  other  area  banks  for
deposits,  loans,  and  trust accounts,  and  with  larger  banks
located  in  some  of the principal cities within  Tennessee  and
certain  other  states for commercial loans and  trust  services.
The   Bank  also  competes  for  funds  with  savings  and   loan
associations  and certain government agencies  and  in  the  open
money  market.   Competition also exists  for  loans  from  other
financial institutions, such as savings banks, savings  and  loan
associations,  insurance companies, small loan companies,  credit
unions, and certain governmental agencies.

Subsidiary

City Bank & Trust Company

The  Bank commenced operations in 1912 as a state chartered  bank
under  the  laws of the State of Tennessee.  In September,  1982,
the Bank, pursuant to a corporate reorganization, became a wholly-
owned subsidiary of C B & T, a one-bank holding company.

On  July  8,  1983, the Bank acquired certain assets and  assumed
certain  liabilities  of  The  First  Central  Bank,  Smithville,
Tennessee,  which commenced operations as the City Bank  &  Trust
Company, Smithville Branch, on July 11, 1983, which extended  the
Banks services into DeKalb County in addition to Warren County.

The  Bank  conducts a full service banking and trust business  in
Warren  County  and DeKalb County, Tennessee.   The  Bank's  main
office  is located in McMinnville, Warren County, Tennessee,  and
the  Bank  operates  a full service branch in Smithville,  DeKalb
County, Tennessee.  There are four banks, including the Bank, two
federal savings banks and one federal credit union within  Warren
County,  which has a population of approximately 33,000.   DeKalb
County has a population of approximately 14,400 and is served  by
four   banks,  including  the  Bank's  Smithville  Branch.   Both
counties  are  centers  of a diversified commercial,  industrial,
agricultural, and tourism area.

The  Bank  offers such customary commercial banking  services  as
checking  and  savings accounts, certificates  of  deposit,  safe
deposit facilities and money transfers.  Its principal source  of
income   is   from  interest  earned  on  personal,   commercial,
agricultural, real estate, and installment loans.

The  Bank's  Trust  Department acts  as  trustee,  executor,  and
administrator under wills, and serves in trustee, conservator, VA
guardian,  and  agent  capacities for  individual  and  corporate
customers. It functions as trustee under bond indentures, as well
as  trustee and administrator under pension, IRA, SEPP, and other
employee  benefit plans for corporations and other organizations.
The Bank handles approximately 582 individual and corporate trust
accounts,  and  provides investment management and other  related
services.    The   Bank's   Trust  Department   had   assets   of
approximately  $85,991,000 under management as  of  December  31,
1997.   These  assets are not included as assets in  the  balance
sheet of the Bank or C B & T.

employees are covered by a collective-bargaining agreement.

     of executive officers may be found in Item 4(b) of Part I of this Form 
     10-K.

(c)  Section 16(a) reporting Delinquencies - Under the Securities Laws of the
     United States, the Corporation's directors, executive officers and any
     person who holds more than ten percent (10%) of the Shares of the 
     Corporation are required to report their ownership of the Shares and any
     changes in that ownership to the Securities and Exchange Commission        
     (the "SEC"). These persons are also required by the SEC's regulations to
     furnish the Corporation with copies of these reports.  Specific due dates
     for these reports have been established by the SEC, and the corporation 
     is required to report in this Proxy Statement any failure to file by     
     these dates during 1997.  Based solely upon a review of the reports 
     furnished to the corporation or written representations from the  
     Corporation's direcors and executive officers, the Corporation 
     believes that, during the 1997 fiscal year, all filing requirements 
     applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10%  
     beneficial owners were complied.

Item 13.   Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Some of the Corporation's directors and officers, businesses with
which they are associated, and members of their immediate families
are at present, as in the past, customers of the Bank and have had
transactions with the Bank, including borrowings.  All transactions
involving loans to such persons and businesses have been made in
the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms,
including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the
time for comparable transactions with other borrowers.  In the
opinion of the Board, such transactions do not involve more than a
normal risk of collectibility nor present any other unfavorable 
features.

FORWARD

City Bank & Trust Company has completed 85 years 
of dedicated service to our trade area.  We opened
our doors for business on April 1, 1912 and received
a Charter on October 30, 1912 as a State Bank.
Since that first day, the bank has been among those
at the forefront of business, agricultural, industrial    Picture
and technological functions that have helped develop                    
the economy of our trade area.  As we celebrate we                    
want to review where we have been and tell you where                   
we are headed.                                                           
                                                                         
At the age of 72, having contributed more than 50 years                
of business and banking leadership to the community, the                 
elder Mr. Jesse Walling began the bank with the help of                    
his three sons, H.R. Walling, E.W. Walling and C.D. Walling.
Pa "J" as he was affectionately called was the bank's first                    
President.  Huel Walling served as the Cashier and E.W. filled                 
the position of Vice President.  The bank has continued to                    
live by the pledge made by the Walling's to serve the customers                
and the community aggressively and efficiently.  Assets on                     
opening day were $42,648.54.  One of the town's most aggressive 
business men and an influential civic and political leader                    
assumed the presidency of City Bank & Trust company with the                   
retirement of the founder.  He was James D. Elkins, whose                       
business affiliations also included President of the                           
McMinnville Hardware and Furniture Company.                                     
                                                                              
He hired the first woman, Mrs. Georgia Moore who became the                    
bank's first Assistant Cashier and the first woman officer.                     
In 1932 the bank merged with Peoples National Bank of                          
McMinnville.  The bank successfully weathered the bank               PICTURE 
holidays declared in March, 1933 by the President of the
United States and emerged from the crucial economic period
an even stronger financial institute passing the one-
million dollar mark with assets of $1,026,076.44 in 1935.

The bank's founder, Jesse Walling died March 11, 1930, followed by
the unexpected death in 1936 of President Elkins.  Turning to the
official family, the bank's directors elected C. D. Walling as
president to succeed Mr. Elkins.  The new president brought with him 
to the office a wealth of knowledge not only of the banking business,
but of the area served by the bank and it's people.  Being the son of
the founder and having "grown up" in the bank, he was eminently qualified to 
succeed to the presidency until 1966 when Mr. H. B. Roney was named to the
presidency.  Keeping in mind the founders dedication of the bank to service,
management soon found the banking quarters to be inadequate to provide the
services needed by the community.  The Board of Directors quickly responded
by opening the West Main Branch in October, 1964.  This provided the first
drive-in facility in Warren County.

In January 1962 the Board of Directors named Mr. Joe H. Womack was the
bank's first Assistant Vice President.  He was known for his wisdom in
agricultural lending and progressed to the position of Senior Vice
President and member of the Board of Directors.

                               Mr. Roney was a colorful individual who served 
                               this institution for almost two decades in the
                               areas of Cashier, Vice President, Executive
                               Vice  President, President and only briefly as
                               President Emeritus.  He was a person who had a
                               love for life and a love for helping others.
                               He was a man that appreciated his staff and
          PICTURE              wanted them to do well.  He was constantly
                               encouraging them and giving them moral and
                               educational support.  Under his leadership
                               Jeffrey A. Golden became the first First Vice
                               President.  He progressed quickly through the
                               ranks and currently serves as the banks' Chair-
                               man of the Board, President and Chief Executive
                               Officer, the only person to hold all three
                               titles.  Mrs. Glyna F. Lee became the bank's
                               first woman loan officer, she too became a 
                               leader in the financial industry, and is 
                               currently serving as Senior Vice President and
                               Director of Marketing and Business Development.
                               Early on as President it became clear to Mr.
                               Roney and the Board that we were in need of 
                               another location to handle the growth of the 
                               bank.  Again the Board of Directors quickly
                               initiated plans which resulted in the opening of
                               the Plaza Branch in temporary quarters in April,
                               1967.  The permanent structure was completed and
                               occupied in February, 1968.  After opening two
                               modern banking facilities within a four year
                               period, City Bank & Trust Company was still
                               facing another problem in order to provide       
                               adequate banking services.  The facilities at 
                               the Main Office were crowded to capacity, with
                               a need for expansion.  After acquiring some
                               adjoining property, plans were formulated to
                               construct a new main office building.  In 
                               February 1968, City Bank & Trust Company moved
                               into temporary quarters to allow for the
                               renovation of the new building which was occupied
                               in May, 1969.  In 1974 the Mt. Leo Branch was
                               opened.  Under Mr. Roney's leadership the bank
                               grew to $68,670,000.00 by year end 1978 when
                               Mr. Roney retired and the Board of Directors
                               elected long time employee Jeffrey A. Golden as
                               President.

                               Mr. Golden became the youngest President in the 
                               bank's history, taking over the helm at the age
                               of 38.  Under his leadership the bank has
                               experienced the greatest growth in the history 
                               of the bank, with assets soaring from $68 to $265
                               million.  In 1980 the Federal Deposit Insurance
                               Corporation and the Tennessee Banking Department
                               approved the opening of our fifth branch on March
                               1, 1981 at the Three Star Mall.  The bank began
                               to offer two new types of accounts The N.O.W    
                               account, which stood for "Negotiable Order of
                               Withdrawal," worked like a regular savings 
                               account, and the new tax free All Savers
                               Certificate was introduced.  As the bank was
                               experiencing great growth Mr. Golden saw the 
                               need to restructure the bank and set up 
                               division heads so that more time could be  
                               devoted to strengthening the different areas   
                               of the bank.  Today Larry E. Brown, Executive 
                               Vice President of the bank oversees the   
                               divisions.  The following people presently head
                               these divisions.  Loan Division, Senior Vice

Under the wise leadership of Mr. Golden another historic
event occurred in the growth of City Bank & Trust Company
when at the annual shareholders meeting, 90.74% of the
shareholders concurred with recommendations of Manage-
ment and the Board of Directors in approving plan to
reorganize The City Bank & Trust Company into a one bank
holding company structure to be known as C B & T, Inc.  This
new structure positioned the bank to compete in the new
deregulated market place.  Many new deposit accounts were
introduced.  It also brought about a different form of lending
as the need for variable rate loans came into place.  Changes
in tax laws brought about changes for wage earners in the
Individual Retirement Account program (IRA) that allowed
the deferment of income, as well as earnings on that income.
Deregulation gave use the ability to become more competitive
by being a more complete financial planner for our customers
and still provide personal service.

City Bank & Trust Company's strength and commitment
continued to grow and in July of 1983 the bank was invited by the Federal 
Deposit Insurance Corporation to bid for the purchase of certain assets and
assume certain liabilities of the First Central Bank of Smithville.  The
bank was successful in this acquisition on July 8, 1983.  The bank continued
to expand and offer new services which included the direct Federal Reserve
Wire Service, expanded leasing programs, MasterCard Gold cards, investment
and brokerage services, personal and home equity lines of credit, limited
insurance activities and discount brokerage services.

In 1986, Mr. Frank Henegar, the oldest person to serve on the bank's Board
of Directors died at the age of 98 after serving this institution for 39
years.  He achieved the singular distinction of "Tennessee's Most Senior
Bank Board Member" presented by the Tennessee State Senate.  During that
same year, Mrs. Edith Ann Martin was named Secretary to the Bank's Board
Directors.  A job she so capably handles to this date.

As the bank faced the 90's there was a concern for many of the nations
banks.  A recognized beginning of a national recession, and a threat of
war in the Middle East.  However, C B & T, Inc. grew and prospered during
this difficult period.  The bank continued to be a leader in extending
new products & services with new Automated Clearing Operations, which
included new service offerings of direct deposit, payroll services,
automatic bill paying, cash concentrations, and corporate trade payments.

In October, 1994, an era of leadership was brought to an end upon the
retirement of Mr. Clarence D. Walling, Jr..  The Walling family had
served CB &T, Inc., and its subsidiary, City Bank & Trust Company from
its beginning.  Mr. Jesse Walling, founder of City Bank & Trust Company
served as Chairman from 1912 until his death on March 11, 1930.  His
son, Mr. Clarence D. Walling, Sr. was an original signer of the corporate
charter and virtually served his lifetime for this institution and this
community. His term as chairman ended withi his untimely death in 1969.
Mr. C D. Walling Jr. then served as Chairman from 1970 until 1994 and
served as Chairman of C B & T, Inc. from its inception date in 1981
until 1994, at which time his retirement concluded the Walling era.

1996 was a very successful year for the bank.  Business customers were
offered a Cash Management Investment Account.  This program offered
business customers an efficient means of managing their daily funds 
and earning a fair return on excess cash through the use of repurchase
agreements of U.S. Government Securities.  The Bank rolled out the new
24-Hour Telephone Banking service, that offered voice response 
information to customers, day or night as well as Loans-by-Phone.  The
opening to the new SuperCenter Branch in the Wal-Mart Super Store
facility offered new extended banking hours with a 24-hour full service
ATM in a safe and secure environment.

A full service ATM was installed in the new River Park Hospital and a
cash dispenser in the Calsonic Yorozu Corporation plant in Morrison,
Tennessee.  The H. G. Hill property adjacent to the West Main Branch
was purchased in order to expand the West Main facility.  The Board
of Directors approved the organization of two new companies.  CBT
Insurance, Inc. was organized to provide the bank new opportunities
in the insurance arena.  CBT Realty, Inc. was organized for the
purpose of holding and disposing of foreclosed properties.

As we celebrated our 85th Anniversary many events were planned for our
customers and staff.  The bank held customer appreciaion day on the
first Friday of each month in McMinnville and Smithville.  The staff
participated in several in-house contests and promotions, which also
involved our customers.  There was a pumpkin contest for the kids, 
fall decorating contest throughout the bank and a drawing was held for
$1,000.00 in cash.  The employees continued to be involved in local
charity, raising thousands of dollars.  Also in 1997, there was a 
focus on training for our entire staff, preparing our people for the
twenty-first century.  To better serve our customers, a cash machine was
installed at our Three Star Mall Branch.

During the last 85 years the bank and its employees have won many
awards for community service, exhibiting sustained superior performance
through strong leadership, as well as, the hard work, talent and input
of our employees on behalf of our customers and community.  Among the
bank awards are the 5 Star Superior Bank Award by Bauer Financial,
Named Employer of the Year by the Tennessee Committee for People with
Disabilities, Named the "Best Bank" in a community wide contest
sponsored by the Southern Standard Newpaper, received an "Obelisk" from
KPMG Peat-Marwick of New York for being a Superior Bank, selected as
the "Business of the Year" by the African-American Athletic &
Scholarship organization and received an "A" rating by Sheshunoff for
many years.

As we look to new horizons, we see the financial market becoming
global, the economy is shifting more and more toward services,
and toward work knowledge.  New technologies -- especially computers
and telecommunications -- have already created intense, worldwide
competition for business.  Considering the scope and speed of change
these days, there will be may priceless opportunities for those of us
who play by the new  rules, position ourselves right, and take 
personal responsibility for our future.  We can't stop the world from
changing.  The best we can do is adapt.  As we move into the twenty-
first century we pledge to you our continued leadership, superior
service and our efforts to improve the quality of life for all we serve.

                            TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS AND FRIENDS:


                            1997 symbolizes 85 years of dedicated service
                            to our trade area.  We realize the success of
                            C B & T, Inc. and its subsidiary City Bank &
                            Trust Company could not have been possible
                            without the support and encouragement of our
                            shareholders and friends; the excellent perfor-
                            mance of our current staff and those who have
                            served in the past years; our management for
      PICTURE               their leadership and commitment; and our
                            Board of Directors for their participation
                            and guidance.  Thanks to each of you for your
                            part in the many successes that we have enjoyed
                            throughout these 85 years.

                            We are happy to report that 1997 was a very
                            successful year as indicated by the following
                            highlights:

* Income per share increased by $0.79 to a record high of $16.16 while 
  maintaining a l.60% return on assets

* The percentage of net income to average shareholders' equity at year-end
  was 13.33%.

* Shareholders' equity to total average assets increased to 11.98% after
  paying a record high $7.50 cash dividend.

* The percentage of dividends declared per average common share to net
  income per average common share increased to 46.41%.

The philosophy of our board and management team is to keep pace with changes
and opportunities and provide our market area with a high quality, high
performing, full service financial institution.  Therefore, on January 8,
1998, a public announcement was made as a result of a decision made by our
Board of Directors to merge (subject to shareholder and regulatory approval)
with Union  Planters Corporation, a Memphis, Tennessee based corporation,
who like C B &T, Inc. and its subsidiary, City Bank & Trust Company, is a
very highly community-oriented company.  Personally, I feel this decision
will enable us to keep pace with change and technology and provide more
resources while maintaining high quality services.  Also you will continue
to see the same friendly contact staff and management who serve you on a
daily basis.

Please review in detail the financial data and the proposed merger
information.  I encourage you to vote FOR the adoption of the Agreement
and the Plan of Merger and return your Proxy to us as soon as possible.

We sincerely appreciate and value your business and ask that you encourage
your family and friends to use our services.

Yours truly,



Jeffrey A. Golden
Chairman of the Board
President and Chief Executive Officer

Financial Discussion

The following discussion is presented to assist in understanding  the
current financial condition and results of operations of C B & T, Inc.
and subsidiaries.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures presented
in other sections of this annual report.


PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

Net income for 1997 was $4,271,000 or $16.16 per share, compared to
$4,117,000  or $15.37 per share in 1996 and $4,067,000 or $15.00 per
share in 1995.  Two key measures of performance in the banking industry
are return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA).
ROE is the ratio of income earned to average shareholders' equity.
ROE for 1997 was 13.33 percent compared to 13.76 percent in 1996 and
and 14.37 percent in 1995.  ROA measures how effectively a corporation
uses its assets to produce earnings.  For 1997, return on average assets
was 1.60 percent.  ROA was 1.60 percent in 1996 and 1.64 percent in 1995.
ROE and ROA have been negatively impacted by an increase in the net loan
charge offs in 1997 and 1996 as compared to 1995.


NET INTEREST INCOME

The Corporation's primary source of earnings is net interest  income,
which  is the difference between revenue generated from earning assets
and  the interest cost of funding those assets.  For discussion, net
interest  income is adjusted to reflect the effect of the tax benefits
of  certain  tax-exempt investments and loans to  compare  with  other
sources  of interest income.  Net interest income on a fully  taxable-
equivalent   basis  has  increased  to  $12,142,000  in   1997,   from
$11,903,000  in 1996 and $11,334,000 in 1995.  Net yield  on  interest
earning assets, which is net interest income on a tax equivalent basis
divided  by average earning assets, was 4.85 percent in 1997, compared
with  4.93 percent in 1996 and 4.87 percent for 1995.  Average earning
assets, as a percentage of total assets, decreased slightly to 93.7 in
1997 compared to 93.8 percent in 1996 and 93.9 percent in 1995.


PROVISION FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES

The  provision  for  possible  loan losses  is  an  operating  expense
recorded to maintain the related balance sheet allowance account  that
is  provided to cover losses that may be incurred in the normal course
of lending.  The total provision for possible loan losses was $413,000
in 1997, $628,000 in 1996, and $376,000 in 1995.  Management regularly
monitors the allowance for possible loan losses and considers it to be
adequate.


NONINTEREST INCOME

Total  noninterest income of $2,122,000 in 1997 increased  $64,000  or
3.1  percent, when compared to 1996.  This follows an increase of 13.3
percent  in 1996 and 35.5 percent in 1995.  Service charges on deposit
accounts  increased  $12,000 in 1997 due, principally,  to  growth  in
transaction  and  savings  deposit accounts.   Other  service  charges
decreased  $67,000 in 1997, due, principally, to reductions in  credit
life  and accident and health insurance commissions.  Gains and losses
on   the  sale  of  investment  securities  also  impact  comparisons.
Security  transactions resulted in a gain of $36,000 in  1997  and  in
losses of $22,000 and $14,000 in 1996 and 1995.


NONINTEREST EXPENSES

Noninterest  expenses increased 4.2 percent in 1997, a slightly  lower
rate  of  growth  than  the 5.6 percent in 1996 and  higher  than  3.2
percent in 1995.  The smaller increase in 1997 can be attributed to  a
leveling of salaries and other expenses.  Salaries, wages and benefits
accounted  for  54.9  percent  of total noninterest  expense  in  1997
compared to 56.5 percent of total noninterest expense in 1996 and 56.0
percent  in  1995.  Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's  insurance
assessment  increased $25,000 in 1997 after a decrease of $240,000  in
1996 and a decrease of $235,000 in 1995.

INCOME TAXES

One element of the Corporation's tax planning is the implementation of
various investment and loan strategies to maximize after-tax profits.
This planning is an ongoing process which considers the levels of tax-
exempt securities and loans, investment securities gains or losses and
allowable  loan  loss deductions.  The Corporation's effective  income
tax rate (income tax expense divided by income before income taxes) is
less  than  the  statutory rate primarily due to income on  tax-exempt
securities and loans.  It should be recognized that the yield on these
types of assets is considerably less than on other investments of  the
same maturity and risk.

The  income  tax  provision  was  $1,754,000  in  1997  compared  with
$1,856,000   in  1996  and  $1,788,000  in  1995.   The  Corporation's
effective tax rate was 29.1 percent in 1997,  31.1 percent in 1996 and
30.5 percent in 1995.

It  has  been determined that for the year ended December 31, 1997,  a
valuation allowance is not required on any of the deferred tax  assets
recorded  due,  primarily, to the earnings history of the  Corporation
and  the  significant  amount of federal income taxes  paid  in  prior
years.


CREDIT QUALITY AND EXPERIENCE

Impaired Loans

Effective  January  1,  1995, the Corporation  and  the  Bank  adopted
Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114.  (as amended  by
No  118),  "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan".   SFAS
114  established the accounting by creditors for impairment of a loan
by  specifying  how  allowances for possible loan  losses  related  to
certain loans should be determined.  This Statement also addresses the
accounting by creditors for certain loans that are restructured  in  a
troubled debt restructuring.  A loan is considered impaired when it is
probable that an institution will be unable to collect all amounts due
(principal  and interest) according to the contractual  terms  of  the
loan  agreement.   Management  evaluates smaller  balance  homogeneous
loans  collectively for impairment.  Loans collateralized  by  one-to-
four  family  residential properties, consumer installment  loans  and
credit card loans are considered smaller-balance homogeneous loans.

Loans  that  are  ninety days past-due, loans on  non-accrual  status,
loans  that  are  restructured in a troubled debt  restructuring,  and
loans  that are included on the Bank's problem loan list are evaluated
for  impairment.   A loan on non-accrual status is  a  loan  on  which
interest  accruals  are  discontinued.  Interest accruals  are
discontinued when management believes, after considering economic  and
business  conditions  and  collection  efforts,  that  the  borrower's
financial  condition is such that it is not reasonable to expect  that
such  interest  will  be collected.  Interest income  is  subsequently
recognized only to the extent of the excess of cash payments  received
over the principal balance due.

When a loan is impaired, the amount of impairment is measured based on
the  present  value  of expected future cash flows discounted  at  the
loan's  effective  interest  rate.  For  collateral  dependent  loans,
impairment  is measured based on a loan's observable market  price  or
the  fair  value  of  the collateral.  The entire change  in  the  net
carrying  amount  is reported as an adjustment to  the  provision  for
possible  loan losses, but in no event are changes in the net  present
value  used  to justify having a loan on the Bank's books at  a  value
that  exceeds its recorded investment.  Estimated losses from impaired
loans  are included in the Bank's allowance for possible loan  losses.
Impaired  loans  are  charged-off once management  has  exhausted  all
efforts to collect the loan.

Inherent  in the business of providing financial services is the  risk
involved in extending credit.  Management believes the objective of  a
sound  credit  policy is to extend quality loans  to  customers  while
reducing  risk  affecting  shareholders' and depositors'  investments.
Risk reduction is achieved through diversity of the loan portfolio  as
to  type, borrower, and industry concentration as well as sound credit
policy guidelines and procedures.

Total impaired loans at December 31, 1997 were $1,404,000 compared  to
$1,733,000  and  $398,000 at December 31, 1996 and 1995  respectively.
The  ratio  of  impaired loans to the allowance  for  loan  losses  at
December 31, 1997, was 73.4 percent compared to 89.7 percent and  21.4
percent  at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Total  impaired
loans  as  a  percentage of total loans decreased to  1.0  percent  at
December  31, 1997, compared to 1.2 percent at December 31,  1996  and
0.3 percent at December 31, 1995.

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses and Loan Charge-Offs

The  allowance for possible loan losses is maintained to cover  losses
that  may  be incurred in the normal course of lending.  The allowance
for  possible  loan losses is increased by provisions charged  against
income  and recoveries of loans previously charged off.  The allowance
is  decreased by loans that are determined uncollectible by management
and charged against the allowance, net of recoveries.

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for possible loan losses,
management on a regular basis evaluates and gives consideration to the
following  factors:   estimated future  losses  of  significant  loans
including identified problem credits; historical loss experience based
on volume and types of loans; trends in portfolio volume, maturity and
composition;  off-balance  sheet credit risk;  volume  and  trends  in
delinquencies  and  non-accruals; economic conditions  in  the  market
area; and any other relevant factors that may be pertinent.

Potential problem loans are those loans which are on the Corporation's
"watch  list".  These loans exhibit characteristics that  could  cause
the  loans to become impaired or require restructuring in the  future.
Periodically, and at a minimum monthly, this "watch list' is  reviewed
and adjusted for changing conditions.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

The following discussions address key elements of financial condition,
including  earning  assets,  the source of  funds  supporting  earning
assets, capital adequacy and asset and liability management.


EARNING ASSETS

Loans

At  December 31, 1997, loans were $147.5 million, compared  to  $144.9
million  at  December 31, 1996.  This represents an  increase  of  1.8
percent  in  1997.  In 1996, loans increased 3.1 percent  from  $140.5
million at December 31, 1995.

Loans  comprise  the  majority  of the  Corporation's  earning  assets
representing 57.7 percent of average earning assets in 1997  and  57.4
percent  in 1996.  Average loans outstanding increased 4.4 percent  in
1997 and 5.1 percent in 1996.

The  largest  category in the loan portfolio was real estate  mortgage
loans, which comprised 66.2 percent of total loans at the end of 1997.
Installment   loans  totaled  22.2  percent  of  the   portfolio   and
commercial, financial and agricultural loans comprised 9.1 percent  of
the portfolio.  All other loans were 2.5 percent of the portfolio.  In
1996,  real  estate  mortgages were 66.5  percent  of  the  portfolio,
installment  loans  were  22.1  percent,  commercial,  financial   and
agricultural loans were 9.4 percent and other loans were 2.0 percent.

The mix within the commercial loan portfolio is diverse and represents
loans  to  a  broad  range of business interests  located,  primarily,
within the Bank's defined market area with agribusiness industry being
the  only  concentration.  The installment loan portfolio is composed,
principally,  of  financing to individuals for vehicles  and  consumer
assets.  The real estate portfolio is primarily residential mortgages.

Loans that mature within one year totaled $49,514,000, or 33.6 percent
of the loan portfolio at December 31, 1997.

Investment Securities

The investment portfolio represented 40.7 percent of average  earning
assets in  1997  and  40.4  percent  in  1996.   Average  investment
securities increased 4.5 percent in 1997 compared to 1996.   The  tax-
equivalent  yield  on  the entire portfolio was 7.07,  6.96  and  7.01
percent  in  1997,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.   These  investments
provide a stable yet diversified income stream and serve useful  roles
in  liquidity and interest-rate-sensitivity management.  In  addition,
they  serve  as  a  source of collateral for  low-cost  funding.   The
decision  to  purchase  securities is based  upon  the  assessment  of
current economic, tax status and financial trends.

Financial Discussion



The investment portfolio is comprised of U.S. Treasury and other U.S.
Government  agency-backed  securities, collateralized  mortgage-backed
securities, tax-exempt  obligations  of  states  and  political
subdivisions  and  certain  other  investments.  The quality of
obligations of states and political subdivisions will be BAA,  A,  AA,
or  AAA,  the majority of which is AA or AAA, as rated by a nationally
recognized service.  As a matter of policy, in support of our  service
area, we  may  purchase certain unrated bonds of local municipalities
provided they are of reasonable credit risk.

On  November 15, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
a  guide  for the implementation of SFAS 115 which allowed a  bank  to
reassess  the appropriateness of the classification of all  securities
held at November 15, 1995 and until December 31, 1995, and account for
any  resulting changes in classifications as a transfer.   Changes  in
classification  from the held-to-maturity category  that  result  from
this one-time reassessment did not call into question the intent of  a
bank  to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future.   As  a
result  of this one-time reassessment, on November 30, 1995, the  Bank
transferred  securities  with  a book  value  of  approximately  $42.8
million and related unrealized gains and losses of approximately  $0.8
million  and  $0.2  million,  respectively  (net  unrealized  gain  of
approximately  $0.6 million), from held-to-maturity to  available-for-
sale.

As  of December 31, 1997, all investment securities were classified as
available-for-sale.  Management classified all securities as available-
for-sale  so  that securities may be sold prior to their maturity  for
purposes of bank asset allocations, rate sensitivity or liquidity and,
hence, tend to be more liquid.

Federal Funds Sold

Federal funds sold are used to manage interest rate sensitivity and to
meet  liquidity  needs.   During 1997,  1996  and  1995,  these  funds
represented  approximately 1.5 percent, 2.2 percent and  2.2  percent,
respectively, of average earning assets.


SOURCES OF FUNDS

Deposits

The  Corporation's major source of investable funds is  core  deposits
from retail and business customers.  Core deposits consist of interest-
bearing  and  noninterest-bearing deposits, including certificates  of
deposit   over  $100,000.   Average  interest-bearing  core  deposits,
comprised of interest-bearing checking accounts, savings, certificates
of  deposit,  money  market  and other time  accounts,  increased  2.7
percent  in  1997, compared to 5.0 percent in 1996 and a  5.3  percent
reduction in 1995.  Average demand deposits (noninterest-bearing  core
deposits) increased 2.4 percent in 1997, 0.8 percent in 1996 and  10.3
percent  in  1995.   These deposits represent  approximately  12.6  of
average core deposits in 1997 and 1996.


Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings

In  1997 these average borrowings increased slightly to 2.7 percent of
average assets compared to 2.6 percent in 1996.

Shareholders' Equity and Capital Adequacy

Shareholders' equity is a stable, noninterest-bearing source of  funds
which  provides support for asset growth and is the primary  component
of  capital.  Capital adequacy refers to the level of capital required
to  sustain  growth  over   time and to absorb  unanticipated  losses.
Shareholders'  equity  at December 31, 1997,  was  $34.9  million,  or
$132.09  per share, compared with $32.2 million, or $121.85 per  share
at  December  31,  1996  and $30.7 million, or $113.92  per  share  at
December  31, 1995.  At December 31, 1997, the Corporation's  leverage
ratio was 12.5 percent.  At December 31, 1997, the Corporation's risk-
based  capital  ratios based on Federal Reserve Board guidelines  were
22.5 percent for Tier 1, or "core" capital, and 23.8 percent for total
qualifying capital.  At December 31, 1996, the Corporation's  leverage
ratio was 12.2 percent.  At December 31, 1996, the Corporation's risk-
based  capital  ratios based on Federal Reserve Board guidelines  were
21.4  percent for Tier 1 or "core" capital and 22.7 percent for  total
qualifying  capital.  These ratios substantially  exceed  the  Federal
Reserve Board's capital guidelines for a well-capitalized institution,
which  are  6.0 percent for Tier 1, 10.0 percent for total  qualifying
capital,  and  5.0  percent for leverage ratio.   It  is  management's
intent  to  maintain  a  level  of  capitalization  that  allows   the
flexibility to take advantage of opportunities that may arise  in  the
future.

Financial Discussion



INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Balance sheet structure and interest rate changes play important roles
in the  growth  of  net interest income.  The Bank's  Asset/Liability
Committee manages the overall rate sensitivity and mix of the  balance
sheet  to  anticipate  and  minimize  the  effects  of  interest  rate
fluctuations  and  to  maintain  a  consistent  net  interest  margin.
Interest rate risk is monitored through gap analysis to ensure  proper
positioning of the Corporation in various interest rate scenarios.


LIQUIDITY

Liquidity  management  ensures  that the  cash  flow  requirements  of
borrowers, depositors and the Corporation can be met.  The  funds  for
short-term  liquidity needs are provided through maturing  securities,
the Bank's extensive core deposit base, payments received on loans and
the   acquisition  of  new  deposits.   Long-term  funding  needs  can
additionally  be  met,  if required, through the  issuance  of  common
stock.  The Corporation's liquidity is considered by management to  be
adequate to meet all current and projected levels of need.


IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ON THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WHEN ADOPTED IN A FUTURE PERIOD
      
The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  has  issued  two
standards  that  have not been adopted by C B & T, Inc.  but  will  be
required to adopt after December 31, 1997 as follows:
   
   Statement  of  Financial  Accounting Standards No.  130,  Reporting

               that  result from recognized transactions and other economic
               events of the period other than transactions with owners  in
               their capacity or owners.
         c.    Management  does not believe this statement  will  have
               any material effect on future financial statements.

                       it may earn revenue and incur expense.
                 2.    Whose operating results are regularly  reviewed
                       by the enterprise's chief operating decision maker to
                       make decisions about resources to be allocated to the
                       segment and assess its performance, and
                 3.    For  which  discrete financial  information  is
                       available.
         d.   Management  does  not believe this  statement  will  have
              any material effect on future financial statements.
              
The  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  (FASB)  has  issued  two

              financial  statements, the pertinent rights  and  privileges
              of the various securities outstanding.
        c.    Management  does not believe this statement  will  have
              any material effect on future financial statements.

Shareholders and Board of Directors
C B & T, Inc.
McMinnville, Tennessee


     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of C
B  &  T,  Inc.  (the "Corporation") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
principally City Bank & Trust Company (the "Bank"), as of December 31,
1997  and  1996,  and the related consolidated statements  of  income,
shareholders'  equity, and cash flows for each of the three  years  in
the  period  ended  December 31, 1997.  These  consolidated  financial
statements  are  the  responsibility of the Corporation's  management.
Our  responsibility  is  to express an opinion on  these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

      We  conducted  our audits in accordance with generally  accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and  perform
the  audit  to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements  are  free  of material misstatement.   An  audit  includes
examining,  on  a  test  basis, evidence supporting  the  amounts  and
disclosures  in  the  financial statements.  An  audit  also  includes
assessing  the  accounting principles used and  significant  estimates
made  by  management,  as  well as evaluating  the  overall  financial
statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide   a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In  our  opinion,  the financial statements  referred  to  above
present  fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated  financial
position of C B & T, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and
1996, and the consolidated results of their operations and their  cash
flows  for  each of the three years in the period ended  December  31,
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  
                             DECEMBER 31, 1997
   
   
   
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  
  Nature of Business
  C  B & T, Inc. (the "Corporation") is a one-bank holding company
  formed  in  1981, with a wholly-owned subsidiary,  City  Bank  &
  Trust  Company, McMinnville, Tennessee (the "Bank").  The  Bank,
  which  is regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
  and  Tennessee  Department of Financial  Institutions,  provides
  deposit   services   and   grants   real   estate,   commercial,
  agricultural and consumer loans to customers primarily in Warren
  and DeKalb counties of Tennessee.
     
  CBT  Realty, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation,
  was  formed  for  the purpose of holding and disposing  of  real
  estate acquired through foreclosure.
     
  During  1996,  the  Corporation formed CBT  Insurance,  Inc.,  a
  wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, for the  purpose  of
  selling insurance services.
     
  The  accounting principles followed and the methods of  applying
  those  principles  conform  with generally  accepted  accounting
  principles  and  to  general practices in the banking  industry.
  The significant policies are summarized as follows:
     
  Principles of Consolidation
  The  accompanying consolidated financial statements present  the
  accounts  and  operations  of  the  Corporation  and  the  Bank.
  Material  intercompany  accounts  and  transactions  have   been
  eliminated in consolidation.
     
  Cash and Due from Banks
  Reserve requirements amounted to approximately $1.6 million  and
  $1.4 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
    
  Cash Equivalents
  Cash  equivalents  include  amounts due  from  banks,  interest-
  bearing  deposits  in  other  banks  and  federal  funds   sold.
  Generally,  federal  funds are purchased  or  sold  for  one-day
  periods.
     
  Investment Securities
  The  Bank  follows  the accounting and reporting  principles  of
  Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards No.115 (SFAS  115),
  "Accounting   for  Certain  Investments  in  Debt   and   Equity
  Securities,"  which requires that securities be  categorized  as
  held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, and trading securities, as
  follows:
   
  Trading Securities
  Debt  and equity securities held principally for resale  in  the
  near  term  are  classified as trading  account  securities  and
  recorded  at their fair values.  Unrealized gains and losses  on
  trading account securities are recognized currently.
     
  Securities Held-to-Maturity
  Debt  securities  which  the Bank has the  positive  intent  and
  ability  to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted  for
  premiums  and  discounts that are recognized in interest  income
  using the interest method over the period to maturity.
     
  Securities Available-for-Sale
  Securities  not  classified as trading or  held-to-maturity  are
  classified as available-for-sale.  Unrealized holding gains  and
  losses,  net  of  deferred income taxes,  on  available-for-sale
  securities  are netted and reported as a separate  component  of
  shareholders' equity until realized.  Realized gains and  losses
  on  the  sale  of  available-for-sale securities are  determined
  using the specific-identification method.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                             DECEMBER 31, 1997



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
           
  Investment Securities (Continued)
  Restricted Equity Securities
  Federal  Home Loan Bank and First Community L.P. stock are classified
  as restricted equity securities and included in other assets.
 
  On  November  15,  1995,  the Financial Accounting  Standards  Board
  issued  a  guide for the implementation of SFAS 115 which allowed  a
  bank  to reassess the appropriateness of the classification  of  all
  securities  held at November 15, 1995 and until December  31,  1995,
  and  account  for  any  resulting changes in  classifications  as  a
  transfer.   Changes  in  classification  from  the  held-to-maturity
  category  that result from this one-time reassessment did  not  call
  into question the intent of a bank to hold other debt securities  to
  maturity  in the future.  As a result of this one-time reassessment,
  on  November 30, 1995, the Bank transferred securities with  a  book
  value  of  approximately $42.8 million and related unrealized  gains
  and   losses  of  approximately  $0.8  million  and  $0.2   million,
  respectively  (net unrealized gain of approximately  $0.6  million),
  from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale.
 
  Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale and held-
  to-maturity  securities  below  their  cost  that  are   other   than
  temporary  result  in  write-downs of the  individual  securities  to
  their  fair value.  The related write-downs are included in  earnings
  as realized losses.
 
  Loans
  Loans  receivable that management has the intent and ability to  hold
  for  the  foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported
  at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by any charge-
  offs  or specific valuation accounts and net of any deferred fees  or
  costs  on  originated  loans.   Loan  origination  fees  and  certain
  related direct costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment  of
  the  yield  on the interest method.  Interest on loans is  recognized
  as income based on the daily loan principal amounts outstanding.
 
  Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information,  it
  is  probable that all amounts of principal and interest due will  not
  be   collected  according  to  the  contractual  terms  of  the  loan
  agreement.   The  amount  of  impairment is  measured  based  on  the
  present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the  loan's
  effective   interest  rate,  or  for  collateral   dependent   loans,
  impairment is measured based on a loan's observable market  price  or
  the   fair  value  of  the  collateral.   For  purposes  of  applying
  impairment  standards, the bank defines impaired loans as  nonaccrual
  loans,  loans  contractually  past due ninety  days  or  more,  loans
  identified  as  non-performing on the bank's problem  loan  list  and
  certain   loans   restructured  in  a  troubled  debt  restructuring.
  Interest  accruals on impaired loans are discontinued when management
  believes,  after  considering economic and  business  conditions  and
  collection efforts, that the borrower's financial condition  is  such
  that  it is not reasonable to expect such interest will be collected.
  Interest  income is subsequently recognized only to the  extent  cash
  payments are received.
 
  Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
  The  preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
  accepted  accounting principles requires management to make estimates
  and  assumptions  that  affect the reported  amounts  of  assets  and
  liabilities  and disclosure of contingent assets and  liabilities  as
  of  the  date of the balance sheet and the revenues and expenses  for
  the  period.   Actual results could differ significantly  from  those
  estimates.   Material estimates that are particularly susceptible  to
  significant  change in the near term relate to the  determination  of
  the allowance for possible loan losses.
 
  Allowance for Possible Loan Losses
  The  allowance for possible loan losses is established by charges  to
  operations  and is maintained at an amount which management  believes
  adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may  become
  uncollectible,  based  on evaluations of loan collectibility  and  on
  prior  loan  loss experience.  The evaluations consider such  factors
  as  changes  in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,  overall
  portfolio  quality,  review of specific problem  loans,  and  current
  economic  conditions that may affect the borrower's ability  to  pay.
  Uncollectible  loans  are  charged to the allowance  account  in  the
  period  such determination is made.  Subsequent recoveries  on  loans
  previously charged off are credited to the allowance account  in  the
  period received.
 
  While management uses available information to recognize losses on
  loans, future losses may be accruable based on changes in economic
  conditions.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
  integral part of their examination process, periodically review the
  Bank's allowance for possible loan losses.  Such agencies may
  require the Bank to recognize additional losses based on their
  judgment of information available to them at the time of their
  examination.

                       C B & T, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                             DECEMBER 31, 1997



NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
    
  Premises and Equipment
  Premises   and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost,  less   accumulated
  depreciation  and  amortization.  The provision for  depreciation  is
  computed   substantially  by  the  straight-line  method   over   the
  estimated  useful  lives  of  the  assets,  which  are  as   follows:
  buildings  -  up  to 40 years; equipment - 5 to 10 years.   Leasehold
  improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease terms or  the
  estimated  lives  of  the improvements.  Gains  or  losses  from  the
  disposition  of property are reflected in operations, and  the  asset
  accounts and related allowance for depreciation are reduced.
 
  Long-Lived Assets
  On   January  1,  1996,  the  Corporation  adopted  SFAS   No.   121,
  "Accounting  for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets  and  for  Long-
  lived  Assets to be Disposed Of."  SFAS 121 requires that  long-lived
  assets  and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and  used  by
  the  Corporation  be  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or
  changes  in  circumstances indicate the carrying amount of  an  asset
  may  not be recoverable.  Measurement of an impairment loss for long-
  lived  assets and identifiable intangibles that an entity expects  to
  hold  and  use is based on the fair market value of the asset.   This
  statement  requires  that  the  majority  of  long-lived  assets  and
  certain  identifiable intangibles to be disposed of  be  reported  at
  the  lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.   The
  adoption  of  this  statement  had  no  effect  on  the  consolidated
  financial statements.
 
  Trust Department Income
  Trust  department  income  is recognized  on  the  accrual  basis  in
  accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  Income Taxes
  The  Corporation  and  its subsidiaries file a  consolidated  federal
  income tax return.
 
  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually  for
  the  differences  between the financial statement and  tax  bases  of
  assets  and  liabilities. Such differences will result in taxable  or
  deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and  rates
  applicable  to the periods in which the differences are  expected  to
  affect  taxable  income. Valuation allowances are  established,  when
  necessary,  to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount  expected  to
  be  realized.   Income tax expense is the tax payable  or  refundable
  for  the  period  plus  or  minus the change  during  the  period  in
  deferred tax assets and liabilities.
 
  Reclassification
  Certain  amounts  have  been  reclassified  in  the  1996  and   1995
  consolidated   financial   statements  to   conform   to   the   1997
  presentation.
 
  Other Real Estate
  Other  real  estate,  which is included in other  assets,  represents
  real  estate acquired through foreclosure and is stated at  lower  of
  (i)  fair value minus estimated costs to sell, or (ii) cost.  If,  at
  the time of foreclosure, the fair market value of the real estate  is
  less  than the Bank's carrying value of the related loan, a writedown
  is  recognized  through a charge to the allowance for  possible  loan
  losses,  and  the  fair  market  value  becomes  the  new  cost   for
  subsequent  accounting.  If the Bank later determines that  the  cost
  of  the property cannot be recovered through sale or use, a writedown
  is  recognized by a charge to operations.  When the property  is  not
  in  a  condition suitable for sale or use at the time of foreclosure,
  completion  and  holding costs, including such items as  real  estate
  taxes,   maintenance  and  insurance,  are  capitalized  up  to   the
  estimated  net realizable value of the property.  However,  when  the
  property  is  in  a  condition  for  sale  or  use  at  the  time  of
  foreclosure, or the property is already carried at its estimated  net
  realizable  value, any subsequent holding costs are expensed.   Legal
  fees  and any other direct costs relating to foreclosures are charged
  to operations when incurred.
 
  Net Income Per Share
  Net  income per share of common stock has been computed based on  the
  weighted  average  number of shares of common stock outstanding  each
  period.

 No investment  securities were required to be written down  pursuant
 to any other than temporary declines in fair value in 1997, 1996  or
 1995.

 The  amortized cost, estimated fair value and weighted yields of debt
 securities  at  December  31,  1997, by contractual  maturities,  are
 presented  on  the  following  schedule.   Expected  maturities  will
 differ  from  contractual maturities because borrowers may  have  the
 right  to  call  or  prepay  obligations  with  or  without  call  or
 prepayment  penalties.  Mortgage-backed securities  are  included  in
 the  final  stated maturities which are consistent with the remaining
 portfolio.   For tax-exempt obligations, the yields are  shown  on  a
 fully taxable basis assuming a 34% tax rate.

NOTE 4 - ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

  It  is  management's  opinion  that the  allowance  was  adequate  at
  December  31, 1997 and 1996, based on conditions reasonably known  to
  management.   However,  the allowance may be increased  or  decreased
  based  on  loan  growth, changes in credit quality,  and  changes  in
  general economic conditions.
 
  For  federal  income tax purposes, the allowance  for  possible  loan
  losses  is maintained at the maximum amount allowable by the Internal
  Revenue Code.

NOTE 9 - FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK BORROWINGS

  The  Bank  has a line-of-credit under an agreement with  the  Federal
  Home  Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB).  The purpose of the line is  to
  hedge  the interest rate on long-term lending.  The Bank applied  for
  and  received  various commitments under the agreement, with  respect
  to  which  borrowings outstanding amounted to $6,787,000 at  December
  31,  1997  ($7,203,000 at December 31, 1996). Such borrowings  mature
  in  level  monthly  installments  through  2013.   The  Bank  had  no
  remaining  optional  takedown  commitments  under  the  agreement  at
  December 31, 1997.

  The  advances  accrue  interest at a fixed rate which  is  determined
  when  the  advance is made.  The weighted average rate  on  all  such
  borrowings drawn to date is 6.06%.

  The FHLB requires the Bank to maintain FHLB stock and obligations  of
  the  United  States of America, obligations fully guaranteed  by  the
  United  States  of  America,  or other  securities  approved  by  and
  delivered  to  the  FHLB  as  collateral for  such  borrowings.   The
  carrying  value of the collateral securing the advances  at  December
  31, 1997 and 1996, was as follows:

NOTE 10 - LEASES

  The Corporation and the Bank are obligated for rental payments under
  various  operating leases.  All building leases have renewal  options
  available.   There are no contingent rental clauses  in  any  of  the
  leases.

  Total rental expense incurred under all operating leases amounted  to
  $77,000 in 1997 ($70,000 in 1996 and $72,000 in 1995).

  Future  minimum rental commitments as of December 31,  1997  for  all
  noncancellable  operating leases with initial or remaining  terms  of
  one year or more are as follows:

NOTE 11 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

  The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet
  risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs  of
  its  customers.   These financial instruments include commitments  to
  extend  credit  and  standby  letters of credit.   Those  instruments
  involve,  to  varying degrees, elements of credit risk in  excess  of
  the amount recognized in the balance sheet.

  The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance  by
  the  other  party  to  the financial instrument  for  commitments  to
  extend  credit  and standby letters of credit is represented  by  the
  contract or notional amount of those instruments.  The Bank uses  the
  same   credit   policies  in  making  commitments   and   conditional
  obligations as it does for extending loans.

NOTE 11 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK (CONTINUED)

  Unless  noted  otherwise,  the Bank does not  require  collateral  or
  other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

    Standby letters of credit                                105

  Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as
  long  as  there is no violation of any condition established  in  the
  contract.   Commitments  generally have  fixed  expiration  dates  or
  other  termination clauses and may require payment of a  fee.   Since
  many  of  the commitments are expected to expire without being  drawn
  upon,  the  total  commitment amounts do  not  necessarily  represent
  future   cash  requirements.   The  Bank  evaluates  each  customer's
  creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount  of  collateral
  obtained  is based on management's credit assessment of the customer.
  Collateral held varies but consists primarily of real estate.
 
  Standby  letters  of  credit  and financial  guarantees  written  are
  conditional   commitments  issued  by  the  Bank  to  guarantee   the
  performance  of a customer to a third party.  Both arrangements  have
  credit  risks  essentially  the same as that  involved  in  extending
  loans  to  customers  and  are subject to the  Bank's  normal  credit
  policies.
 
  Income  from  fees  on  lines of credit  and  letters  of  credit  is
  recognized as collected.
 
 
 
NOTE 12 - DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN

  The  Bank  sponsors  an employees' Thrift Plan  (the  "Plan"),  which
  encourages  employees  (Participants) to set aside  a  percentage  of
  their  earnings in an account to provide a source of income for their
  retirement.   The  Plan  has  been amended  and  restated  since  its
  initial  adoption  to  comply with tax  law  changes,  add  a  401(k)
  provision,  clarify  the  definition  of  compensation  and   reflect
  participants' ability to direct investments.
 
  The  Plan, a defined contribution plan, meets the requirements of the
  Employee  Retirement  Income Security Act of  1974  ("ERISA")  which,
  among  other  things, prohibits discriminating in favor of  officers,
  shareholders  or  highly  compensated  employees  with   respect   to
  eligibility, contributions or benefits.  To participate in the  Plan,
  Participants must be 21 years of age and have completed one  year  of
  service  in  which  they are credited with at least  1,000  hours  of
  service.  Vesting of Bank contributions to the Plan is as follows:
 
            Years of Employment             Percentage of Account
              at Termination                       Vested
                                   
               Less than 3                            0%

NOTE 12 - DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN (CONTINUED)

  The Bank contributes  to  the  Plan  a  minimum  of 1% of each
  Participant's compensation  (compensation  excludes bonuses and
  gifts).   In  addition,  the  Bank matches  Participants'  before-tax
  contributions  up  to 3% of each Participant's compensation  whenever
  Bank  profits  are deemed adequate by the Board of  Directors.   Plan
  Participants  may contribute before-tax dollars, up to 15%  of  their
  annual  compensation,  to the 401(k) Plan (to a maximum  contribution
  of  $9,500, indexed by the rate of change in inflation, per  calendar
  year  subject to overall IRS limitations).  These contributions  will
  be   tax-deferred,  within  limits  prescribed  by  the  Plan.   Plan
  Participants  may also make voluntary after-tax contributions  of  up
  to  10%  of  their  compensation to the Plan.  The fund  earnings  to
  their Individual Account are also tax-deferred.

  The  contributions are invested in a Trust fund managed by the Bank's
  Trust  Department  and from which benefits are  distributed.   As  of
  December  31,  1997, 100 persons (98 in 1996 and  95  in  1995)  were
  participating  in  the  Plan,  and  the  Bank's  annual  contribution
  amounted  to $105,000 ($103,000 in 1996 and $98,000 in 1995).   Total
  salaries  of Participants during 1997 were $2,901,000 ($2,664,000  in
  1996  and  $2,521,000  in 1995).  The Bank contributed  approximately
  3.62%  of Participants' salaries in 1997 (3.87% in 1996 and 3.89%  in
  1995).



NOTE 13 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

  In  1988,  the  Bank entered into nonqualified deferred  compensation
  agreements  with  certain  of  its directors.   There  are  presently
  eleven  directors  and  two former directors included  in  the  group
  which,  when  certain  conditions  are  met,  will  be  paid  monthly
  benefits  of  varying amounts for up to 180 months.  Upon  retirement
  on  or  after  normal retirement age, benefits will be  paid  to  the
  covered  person or his beneficiary, in case of the director's  death,
  for  the maximum term of 180 months.  If the director retires for any
  other  reason,  the benefits will be reduced pro rata  based  on  the
  length of time the director was included in the plan.
  
  In  accordance  with  generally accepted accounting  principles,  the
  Bank  has recorded a liability in the amount of the present value  of
  an  investment  necessary to amortize the future liability  over  the
  years  the services are rendered.  The amount charged to expense  for
  1997 was $268,000 ($226,000 in 1996 and $201,000 in 1995).

  The  Bank has chosen to fund the obligation by purchasing and  owning
  life  insurance  contracts, naming the Bank as beneficiary,  on  each
  participating director.  The value of the contracts is carried as  an
  asset of the Bank as follows:

                                                       1997            1996

  Liabilities for contracts - end of year             $1,310          $1,054


  The  Board  of  Directors  elected to terminate  the  plan  effective
  January  7,  1998.  Under  the  provisions  of  this  resolution,  no
  additional  fees  may be deferred after January 7,  1998.   The  Bank
  further  elected  to  pay monthly benefits to all  current  and  past
  directors in the same manner and amount that would have occurred  had
  the participant terminated service as a director on January 7, 1998.

NOTE 14 - REGULATORY MATTERS

  The  Corporation and the Bank are subject to various federal  and
  state  regulatory capital requirements.  Failure to meet  capital
  requirements   can  initiate  certain  mandatory,  and   possibly
  additional  discretionary, actions by regulators that could  have
  a  direct  material  effect  on the Corporation  and  the  Bank's
  financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and  the
  regulatory   framework   for  prompt   corrective   action,   the
  Corporation  and  the Bank are required to meet specific  capital
  adequacy  guidelines that involve quantitative  measures  of  the
  Corporation's and the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-
  balance-sheet  items  as calculated under  regulatory  accounting
  practices.   The  capital  classification  is  also  subject   to
  qualitative  judgments by the regulators about  components,  risk
  weightings and other factors.
 
  Quantitative  measures  established  by  regulation   to   ensure
  capital  adequacy  require  the  Corporation  and  the  Bank   to
  maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total Capital and  Tier  I
  Capital  to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I Capital to average
  assets.  Management believes, as of December 31, 1997  and  1996,
  that  the  Corporation  and the Bank meet  all  capital  adequacy
  requirements to which they are subject.
 
  As  of  December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Corporation and the  Bank
  both  had ratios which exceeded the regulatory requirement to  be
  classified as " well capitalized" under the regulatory  framework
  for  prompt  corrective action.  As of March 3,  1997,  the  most
  recent   notification   from   the  Federal   Deposit   Insurance
  Corporation categorized the bank as "well capitalized" under  the
  regulatory  framework  for  prompt  corrective  action.   To   be
  categorized  as well capitalized, the Corporation  and  the  Bank
  must  maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based,  Tier
  I  leverage  ratios  as  set forth in the  table.  There  are  no
  conditions  or  events  since that notification  that  management
  believes have changed the institution's category.

  The  Corporation's and the Bank's risk-based capital and  related
  ratios as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follow:

                             DECEMBER 31, 1997



NOTE 15 - DIVIDEND AND NET ASSET RESTRICTIONS

  Dividends  paid  by  the  Bank are the primary  source  of  funds
  available  to  the  Corporation for payment of dividends  to  its
  shareholders  and  for other working capital  needs.   Applicable
  Tennessee  statutes  and regulations impose restrictions  on  the
  amount of dividends that may be declared by the subsidiary Bank.



NOTE 16 - SELF-INSURED PLANS

  On  October  1, 1996, the Bank began self-insuring its employees'
  medical  and  short-term disability claims.  A  liability  and  a
  provision  for  claims  is  recorded  monthly  by  the  Bank   to
  recognize estimated claims under this plan.  A portion  of  these
  costs   is   recovered  through  employee  contributions,   which
  amounted  to  $101,800  in  1997  and  $20,700  in  1996.   Those
  eligible under the plan include full-time employees who have  met
  certain length-of-service requirements.
 
  The  Bank's maximum liability for covered claims under  the  plan
  for  the  year  ended  September 30,  1998  is  estimated  to  be
  approximately  $350,000  (less employee  contributions),  with  a
  maximum  of  $10,000  for  any individual  employee  claim.   The
  Bank's  expense  under  the plan amounted  to  $158,000  in  1997
  ($50,470 in 1996).



NOTE 17 - SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

  The  Bank  grants agribusiness, commercial and residential  loans
  to  customers primarily in Warren and DeKalb Counties, Tennessee.
  Although   the   Bank  has  a  diversified  loan   portfolio,   a
  substantial  portion  of  its debtors'  ability  to  honor  their
  contracts is dependent on the agribusiness industry.



NOTE 18 - INCENTIVE BONUS PLAN

  The  Bank  has an incentive bonus plan pursuant to which officers
  of   the   Bank  receive,  subject  to  an  annual   review   and
  modification   by  the  Bank's  Board  of  Directors,   a   bonus
  determined  by the Bank's performance as measured by  its  return
  on  assets.  For the year 1997, the bonus was $133,000  ($136,000
  in 1996 and $126,000 in 1995).

NOTE 20 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  Fair  value estimates made as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 are based
  on  relevant  market  information about  the  financial  instruments.
  These  estimates do not reflect any premiums or discounts that  could
  result  from offering for sale at one time the Corporation's  or  the
  Bank's  entire  holding  of  a particular financial  instrument.   In
  cases  where  quoted  market  prices are not  available,  fair  value
  estimates  are  based  on judgments regarding  future  expected  loss
  experience,  current  economic conditions,  risk  characteristics  of
  various  financial instruments, and other factors.   These  estimates
  are  subjective  in nature and involve uncertainties and  matters  of
  significant  judgment  and,  therefore,  cannot  be  determined  with
  precision.   Changes  in assumptions could significantly  affect  the
  estimates.   In  addition,  the  tax  ramifications  related  to  the
  realization  of  the  unrealized  gains  and  losses   can   have   a
  significant  effect  on  fair  value  estimates  and  have  not  been
  considered in the estimates.

NOTE 20 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

  The  following  methods and assumptions were used in  estimating  the
  fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
  
  Cash  and  Cash Equivalents -- The carrying amounts reported  in  the
  balance sheets for cash and short-term instruments approximate  those
  assets' fair values.
 
  Securities  Available-for-Sale -- Fair values were  based  on  quoted
  market   prices  available.   If  quoted  market  prices   were   not
  available,  fair  values  were  based  on  quoted  market  prices  of
  comparable instruments.
 
  Loans  --  The carrying values, reduced by estimated inherent  credit
  losses,  of  variable-rate  loans and  other  loans  with  short-term
  characteristics  were considered fair values.  For other  loans,  the
  fair  market  values were calculated by discounting scheduled  future
  cash  flows  using  current  interest rates  offered  on  loans  with
  similar  terms  adjusted  to  reflect  the  estimated  credit  losses
  inherent in the portfolio.
 
  Accrued  Interest  Receivable and Accrued  Interest  Payable  --  The
  carrying  amounts reported in the balance sheets for accrued interest
  receivable  and  accrued  interest  payable  approximate  their  fair
  values.
 
  Deposit  Liabilities  -- The fair value of deposits  with  no  stated
  maturity,  was, by definition, equal to the amount payable on  demand
  as  of December 31, 1997 and 1996. The fair value of certificates  of
  deposit was based on the discounted value of contractual cash  flows,
  calculated  using discount rates equal to interest rates  offered  at
  the valuation date for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
  Short-Term  Borrowings  --  The carrying  amounts  of  federal  funds
  purchased,  borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other  short-
  term  borrowings,  if any, are considered to approximate  their  fair
  values.
 
  The estimated fair values of financial instruments are as  follows:

                                  December 31, 1997           December 31, 1996

  At  December 31, 1997 and 1996, the Bank had commitments  to  extend
  credit  and  outstanding  standby letters  of  credit.   These  off-
  balance-sheet  financial  instruments are generally  exercisable  at
  the  market  rate prevailing at the date the underlying  transaction
  will  be  completed and, therefore, are deemed to  have  no  current
  fair market value.
 
  Fair value estimates are based on existing on-balance sheet and off-
  balance  sheet financial instruments without attempting to  estimate
  the  value  of anticipated future business and the value  of  assets
  and  liabilities  that  are  not considered  financial  instruments.
  Significant   assets  and  liabilities  that  are   not   considered
  financial  assets or liabilities include the value of  deferred  tax
  assets, premises and equipment.
