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

Results of Operations

     The Corporation's net income for the second quarter of 1997
was $1,187,115 or $.36 per share, which is a 14.44% increase
compared with the $1,037,294 or $.31 per share earned during the
same period last year.  Return on average assets and return on
average equity for the first six months of 1997 were 1.28% and
12.33% respectively, compared to 1.25% and  11.44% for the same
period in 1996.

Results of Operations (cont'd)

     The increase in net income for the second quarter was
primarily the result of an increase in net interest income.  
The Corporation's net interest income increased 10.99% from
$3,482,256 for 1996 to $3,864,954 for the same quarter of 1997. 
Total interest income is up 11.34% compared to the second
quarter of last year.  This increase resulted from an increase
in loan balances of 6.33% over the past twelve months, as well
as from an increase in yields on loans.  Total interest expense
is 11.79% higher for the second quarter of 1997 compared to the
second quarter of 1996.  This increase is due primarily  to
growth in time deposits.  The bank's time deposits have grown
15.06% over the twelve months.  

     Provisions for credit losses in the second quarter amounted
to $200,000, compared to $90,000 for the same quarter in 1996. 
This substantial increase is the result of a $16 million or
6.33% increase in loans in the past twelve months.	

     The Corporation's total other expenses for the second
quarter increased 3.9% from $2,221,332 in 1996 to $2,308,040 in
1997.  Salaries and employee benefits increased 8.57%, as a
result of additional staff added to support the overall growth
in assets .    


Liquidity

     The Corporation maintains, in the opinion of management,
liquidity sufficient to satisfy depositors' requirements and
meet the credit needs of customers.  The Corporation depends on
its ability to maintain its market share of deposits as well as
acquiring new funds.  The Corporation's ability to attract
deposits and borrow funds depends in large measure on its
profitability, capitalization and overall financial condition.  

     Principal sources of liquidity for the Corporation include
assets considered relatively liquid such as short-term
investment securities, federal funds sold and cash and due from
banks. 

     Cash flows generated from operating activities increased 
slightly to $2,868,092 compared to $2,275,935 for the same
period in 1996.   This increase of $592,157 is primarily the
result of increased levels of interest income.  Net cash flows
used in investing activities amounted to $21,371,009.  Most of
these funds were used to fund the bank's purchase of investment
securities available for sale, which increased $16,695,773
during the first six months of 1997, while loans increased
$2,235,953 during the same time period.  Net cash flows provided
by financing activities were $14,933,246 compared to $8,817,935 
in 1996.  Approximately $5,831,000 of these funds were generated
from increases in balances in  deposit accounts, and $8,594,000 
was  borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank. 


Capital Resources

     The capital management function is a continuous process
which consists of providing capital for both the current
financial position and the anticipated future growth of the
Corporation.  As of  June 30, 1997, the corporation's total
risk-based capital ratio stood at 16.59%, and the Tier I
risk-based capital ratio and Tier I leverage ratio were at
15.34% and 10.59%, respectively.  Regulations established by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act require that
for a bank to be considered well capitalized, it must have a total
risk-based capital ratio of 10%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio
of 6% and a Tier I leverage ratio of 5%.

Loan Portfolio

The following shows the composition of loans at the dates indicated:

                                             June 30,        Dec. 31, 
                                               1997            1996 

Commercial, financial and agricultural       9,636,971       8,454,064 
Residential mortgage loans                 103,106,781     104,088,173 
Nonresidential mortgage loans               37,557,260      32,124,015 
Installment loans to individuals           118,637,264     122,036,071 
Total loans                                268,938,276     266,702,323 


Risk Elements

The following table sets forth aggregate loans in each of the
following categories for the dates indicated:



                                             June 30,        Dec. 31, 
                                               1997            1996 

Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis      880,921               0 
             

Loans contractually past due 90 days or 	 	 
 more as to interest or principal payments              
 (not included in nonaccrual loans above)      527,686         2,098,118 

Loans considered troubled debt restructurings 	 	 
 (not included in nonaccrual or contractually           
 past due above)                                     0                 0 


Risk Elements (Continued)

Management knows of no loans not included in the table above
where serious doubt exists as to the ability of the borrower to
comply with the current loan repayment terms.

The following shows the amounts of contracted interest income
and interest income reflected in income on loans accounted for
on a nonaccrual basis and loans considered troubled debt
restructuring for the periods indicated:

                                               June 30,            Dec. 31, 
                                                 1997                1996 

Gross interest that would have been recorded 	 	 
  if the loans had been current in accordance 	 	 
  with their original terms                     17,494                 0 

Interest income included in income on the loans 30,088                 0 


A loan is placed on a nonaccrual basis whenever sufficient
information is received to question the collectibility of the
loan.  Generally, once a loan is placed on a nonaccrual basis,
interest that may be accrued and not collected on the loan  is
charged against earnings.

As of June 30, 1997, there were no concentrations of loans
exceeding 10% of total loans which are not disclosed as a
category of loans.  As of that date also, there are no other
interest-earning assets that are either nonaccrual, past due or
restructured.


Summary of Credit Loss Experience

The following is an analysis of the allowance for credit losses
for the periods indicated:

  loans outstanding                                 .10%         .15% 


(1)  The provision for possible credit losses charged to
operating expense is based on management's judgment after taking
into consideration all factors connected with the collectibility
of the existing loan portfolio.  Management evaluates the loan
portfolio in light of economic conditions, changes in the nature
and volume of the loan portfolio, industry standards and other
relevant factors.  Specific factors considered by management in
determining the amounts charged to operating expenses include
previous credit loss experience, the status of past due interest
and principal payments, the quality of financial information
supplied by loan customers and the general condition of the
industries in the community to which loans have been made.


Summary of Credit Loss Experience (cont'd)


The allowance for possible credit losses has been allocated
according to the amount deemed to be reasonably necessary to
provide for the possibility of losses being incurred within the
following categories of loans as of the dates indicated.

                                               June 30,    Dec. 31,
Types of Loans                                   1997        1996 

Commercial, financial & agricultural            574,401    1,873,000 
Real estate - mortgage                        1,254,848      263,000 
Installment                                   1,443,702    1,061,889 
Total                                         3,272,951    3,197,889 

The allocation of the allowance as shown above should not be
interpreted as an indication that charge-offs in 1997 will occur
in the same proportions or that the allocation indicates future
charge-off trends.  Furthermore, the portion allocated to each
loan category is not the total amount available for future
losses that might occur within such categories since the total
allowance is a general allowance applicable to the entire
portfolio.


The percentage of loans in each category to total loans is
summarized as follows:

                                                June 30,      Dec. 31, 
Types of Loans                                    1997          1996 

Commercial, financial & agricultural                3.6%         3.2% 
Residential mortgage loans                         38.3%        39.0% 
Nonresidential mortgage loans                      14.0%        12.0% 
Installment loans to individuals                   44.1%        45.8% 
                                                  100.0%       100.0%
