   ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER.

        This statement relates to the common stock, par value $4.00 per
   share (the "Common Stock"), of First Mid-Illinois Bancshares, Inc, a
   Delaware corporation (the "Company"), whose principal executive
   offices are located at 1515 Charleston Avenue, Mattoon, Illinois
   61938.

   ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

        This statement is being filed by Richard Anthony Lumpkin,
   individually and as trustee of the various trusts described in Item 5
   below.  Mr. Lumpkin is a citizen of the United States of America.  His
   principal occupation is serving as the Chief Executive Officer of
   Illinois Consolidated Telephone Company and Vice Chairman of McLeodUSA
   Incorporated.  His business address is as follows:  Illinois
   Consolidated Telephone Company, 121 South 17th Street, Mattoon,
   Illinois 61938.

        During the last five years, Mr. Lumpkin (i) has not been
   convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or
   similar misdemeanors) and (ii) has not been a party to a civil
   proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
   jurisdiction resulting in a judgment, decree or final order finding
   any violation with respect to federal or state securities laws or
   enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
   subject to, such laws.

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

        Since Mr. Lumpkin's most recently filed amendment to this
   statement on August 2, 1995, shares of Common Stock for which Mr.
   Lumpkin is reporting beneficial ownership herein have been acquired in
   the following manner:  (i) 6,605 shares have been acquired pursuant to
   the deferral of director fees under the Company's Deferred
   Compensation Plan; (ii) 31,899 shares have been acquired pursuant to
   dividend reinvestment under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan;
   (iii) 2000 shares have been awarded in the form of stock options under
   the Company's Stock Incentive Plan; (iv) 21,000 shares were purchased
   by The Lumpkin Foundation (see Item 5 below) using internal funds and

   Series A Preferred Stock on November 15, 1999 and (vi) 43,740 shares
   were acquired by SKL Investment Group, LLC (see Item 5 below).  In
   addition to these acquisitions, Mr. Lumpkin has disposed of shares
   since his last filed amended statement on Schedule 13D, which shares
   are no longer reported herein, and Mr. Lumpkin is no longer reporting
   beneficial ownership of certain shares held by other persons because


                              Page 3 of 6 Pages





   he no longer holds voting or investment power over such shares.  No
   borrowed funds were used for any of the above-listed acquisitions.

   ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

        Purchases of shares of Common Stock by Mr. Lumpkin have been for
   investment purposes.  Mr. Lumpkin may purchase additional shares from
   time to time depending upon price, market conditions, availability of
   funds, evaluation of other investment opportunities, and other
   factors.  Although Mr. Lumpkin has no present intention to sell any
   shares, he could determine from time to time, based upon the same
   factors listed above for purchases, to sell some or all of the shares
   held by him.

        Except as set forth above, Mr. Lumpkin does not have any plan or
   proposal which relates to any of the following matters:

        (a)  The acquisition by any person of additional securities of
   the issuer, or the disposition of securities of the issuer;

        (b)  An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
   reorganization or liquidation, involving the issuer or any of its
   subsidiaries;

        (c)  A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the
   issuer or of any of its subsidiaries;

        (d)  Any change in the present board of directors or management
   of the issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number
   or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

        (e)  Any material change in the present capitalization or
   dividend policy of the issuer;

        (f)  Any other material change in the issuer's business or
   corporate structure;

        (g)  Changes in the issuer's charter, bylaws or instruments
   corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
   acquisition of control of the issuer by any person;

        (h)  Causing a class of securities of the issuer to be delisted
   from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be
   quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national
   securities association;

        (i)  A class of equity securities of the issuer becoming eligible
   for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
   Exchange Act; or

        (j)  Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

   to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or
   proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock beneficially
   owned by Mr. Lumpkin.

        (e)  Not applicable.

   relationships (legal or otherwise) between Mr. Lumpkin and any person
   with respect to any securities of the issuer.
