        This statement relates to the common stock, par value $4.00 per

   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 Charles A. Adams.  Mr. Adams is
   a citizen of the United States of America.  His principal occupation
   is serving as the President of Howell Paving, Inc.  His business
   address is as follows:  Howell Paving, Inc., 1020 North 13th Street,
   Mattoon, Illinois 61938.

        During the last five years, Mr. Adams (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

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

        Since Mr. Adams's originally filed statement on Schedule 13D on
   July 1, 1992, shares of Common Stock for which Mr. Adams is reporting
   beneficial ownership herein have been acquired in direct purchases by
   Mr. Adams and his spouse, pursuant to the deferral of director fees
   under the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan, pursuant to dividend
   reinvestment under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan, in the
   form of stock options under the Company's Stock Incentive Plan and by
   Howell Paving, Inc. (see Item 5 below) upon the conversion of the
   Company's Series A Preferred Stock on November 15, 1999.  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. Adams have been for
   investment purposes.  Mr. Adams 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. Adams 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. Adams does not have any plan or
   proposal which relates to any of the following matters:

   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;
