Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition
and Results of Operations


Results of Operations

Net income for the first quarter 1995 totaled $3.6 million, an
increase of approximately 16 percent over the $3.1 million earned
in the first quarter last year.  The improved earnings resulted
from increased net interest income and reduced noninterest
expense. 
On a per share basis, income amounted to $ .72 per share as
compared to $ .62 reported in 1994.  Return on average assets was
1.46 percent which was up from 1.26 percent reported for the
first
quarter last year.  Return on average equity for the first
quarter 
amounted to 13.80 percent and was slightly below the 1994 first
quarter ratio of 13.87 percent.

Net interest income for the first quarter was $684 thousand above
the 1994 first quarter amount with the increase attributable to
higher average loans.  The net interest margin for the first
quarter 1995 was 4.77% as compared to 4.40% for the first quarter
last year.

Total noninterest income for the first quarter amounted to $3.0
million, down slightly from the 1994 first quarter total.  Trust
fees were virtually unchanged from the 1994 amount, and service
fees on deposits were up $64 thousand.  There were no securities
gains or losses during the first quarter 1995 as compared to
first
quarter 1994 gains of $73 thousand which were included in other
noninterest income.  Mortgage loan fees were down $44 thousand
and
also contributed to the 1995 decrease in other noninterest
income.

Total first quarter 1995 noninterest expense totaled $8.1 million
which was approximately $200 thousand below the same period last
year.  Salaries and benefits expense and occupancy and equipment
expenses were down $105 thousand and $85 thousand, respectively. 
Other noninterest expenses in the first quarter were near prior
year first quarter amounts.


Balance Sheet Review

Total assets of $988 million at March 31, 1995, represent a $16
million decrease from the prior year and a $25 million decrease
from December 31, 1994.  These decreases were driven primarily by
lower deposit totals.  Compared to March 31, 1994, the Company's
balance sheet at March 31, 1995, reflects a $22 million increase
in
loans and decreases in Federal funds sold and investment
securities
of $31 million and $13 million, respectively.  Compared to the
year-end 1994 balance sheet, investment securities and Federal
funds have declined $19 million and $9 million, respectively, and
loans reflect a modest $4 million increase.  With respect to
deposits, the March 31, 1995, amount is below both December 31 
and
March 31, 1994, with the decline, for the most part, attributable
to the higher returns currently available in non bank investment
products.  

Nonperforming assets at March 31, 1995, totaled $2.3 million,
down
from $4.6 million at March 31, 1994, but up slightly from the
year-
end 1994 total of $2.2 million. Improvement from the first
quarter
1994 resulted primarily from a reduction in nonaccrual loans. 
The
March 31, 1995, components of nonperforming assets are relatively
unchanged from year-end 1994.  Management is not aware of any
material classified credit not properly disclosed as
nonperforming
and considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate.

Liquidity and Capital

The Company's consolidated statements of cash flows are presented
on page 7 in this report.  At March 31, 1995, the balance sheet
reflects adequate liquidity, and the parent company had no funded
debt under its $5 million line of credit from an unaffiliated
financial institution.

Total equity capital amounted to $106.4 million at March 31,
1995,
which was up from $103.9 million at year-end 1994 and $98.2
million
at March 31, 1994. The ratio of equity capital to assets at March
31, 1995, was 10.8 percent as compared to 10.3 percent at
December
31, 1994, and 9.8 percent at March 31, 1994.  The first quarter
dividend was $ .28 per share and amounted to $1.4 million, or 39
percent of earnings.  On April 25, 1995, the Company declared a
second quarter cash dividend of $ .31 per share which will be
payable July 1, 1995.
