NOTE 5:  INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS

     Through  the  purchase  of  interest  rate  cap  agreements  (caps),  the
Corporation has reduced the impact of increased interest rates on its costs to
acquire certain deposits, repurchase agreements and long-term borrowings being
hedged.   These caps entitle the Corporation to receive periodic payments from
counterparties  based  upon  the notional amount of the caps and the excess of
the  index  rate  over  the  strike  price.  Amortization of premiums paid for
interest  rate  caps  totaled  $980 and $647 for the six months ended June 30,
1997  and  1996,  respectively.    This  expense  was  offset  by counterparty
reimbursements  of  $207  and  $398 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996,  respectively.

     At  June  30,  1997,  the  notional  amount of the interest rate caps was
$290,000.    The caps are indexed to LIBOR with contract strike prices ranging
from  5.50%  to  6.00%  and  mature  through  the  third quarter of 1999.  The
carrying  value  and  estimated market value of the caps at June 30, 1997, was
$2,481  and  $1,711,  respectively.

     The  Corporation  has entered into interest rate swaps as a hedge against
certain  long-term  borrowings  to  manage its interest rate sensitivity.  The
contracts  represent  an  exchange  of  interest  payments  and the underlying
principal balances of the liabilities are not affected.  At June 30, 1997, the
Corporation  had  swaps  with  a  notional  value  of $55,000.  The agreements
require  the Corporation to pay a fixed rate of interest ranging from 5.77% to
6.12%  and receive a variable rate based on three-month LIBOR.  The agreements
terminate  on or prior to January 12, 2001.  The Corporation paid $1,648 while
receiving  $1,549  from  these agreements during the six months ended June 30,
1997.

     The  Corporation is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make its
payments  under  a contract in which the Corporation is in a receiving status.
Although  collateral  or  other  security  is  not  obtained,  the Corporation
minimizes  its  credit  risk  by  monitoring  the  credit  standing  of  the
counterparties  and  anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully
satisfy  their  obligation  under  the  agreements.

     At  June  30, 1997, option forward contracts, if exercised, committed the
Corporation  to sell $80,000 par value of mortgage-backed securities available
for  sale  at  prices  not  less  than  their carrying values during the third
quarter  of 1997.  Fees received from these contracts have been deferred until
expiration,  termination  or  exercise  of  the  contract.

NOTE 7:  NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Net  income  per  share  has  been computed by dividing net income by the
weighted  average  number  of  common and common equivalent shares outstanding
during  each  period.   The assumed conversion of the convertible subordinated
debentures  into  common  shares had no material dilutive effect on net income
per  share.  All share data included in the consolidated financial statements,
notes  and  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis has been adjusted for stock
dividends.

     In  February  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Statement  No.  128  "Earnings  Per  Share."    This  statement simplifies the
computation  of earnings per share and requires dual presentation of basic and
diluted  earnings  per  share  on  the  face  of  the  income statement.  This
statement  is  effective  for  financial  statements issued for periods ending
after  December  15,  1997,  with  earlier  application  not  permitted.

     The application of this standard would have resulted in earnings per
share as follows:

OVERVIEW
- --------

     Net  income  for  the  three  months ended June 30, 1997, was $12,066, an
increase  of  19.0%  over  the $10,140 earned in the same period of 1996.  Net
income  per  share increased 19.6% to $.61 for the three months ended June 30,
1997,  compared  to $.51 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  Net income
for the first six months of 1997 was $23,618 compared to $19,984 earned in the
same period of 1996, an increase of 18.2%.  Net income per share was $1.19 and
$1.01  for  the  six  months  ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The
increased  earnings  was  primarily  due  to  growth  in  earning  assets  and
non-interest  income.  Net interest income increased $6,189, or 8.6%, over the
first  six  months  of 1996 due to growth in earning assets of 11.9%.  The net
interest  margin,  however,  declined from 4.15% for the first half of 1996 to
4.06% for the first half of 1997, primarily due to reduced loan yields coupled
with  an  increase  in  its  cost  of  funds.

     Net  income of $12,066 for the second quarter of 1997 increased over 1997
first  quarter  results  of  $11,552.    Net income per share was $.61 for the
second  quarter  of  1997  compared  to  $.58  for  the  first  quarter  1997.

     The  Corporation's  total assets at June 30, 1997, were $4,348,398, which
were  $131,823 greater than the $4,216,575 at December 31, 1996, and $297,553,
or  7.3%,  greater  than  total  assets  at  June  30,  1996.   Total loans of
$2,374,309  at  June 30, 1997, increased from $2,275,089 at December 31, 1996,
and  from  $2,126,398  one  year  ago.

     Annualized returns on average assets and average shareholders' equity for
the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1997, were 1.11% and 14.64%, respectively,
compared  with  1.05% and 12.86% for the same period of 1996.  For the quarter
ended  June  30,  1997,  annualized  returns  on  average  assets  and average
shareholders'  equity  were  1.12% and 15.00%, respectively, compared to 1.04%
and  12.88%  in  the  second  quarter  of  1996.

     Cash  dividends of $.22 per share were declared during the second quarter
of  1997  representing  an increase of 10% compared with $.20 per share during
the  same  period  of  1996.  For the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996,
total  dividends  declared  were  $8,533  and  $7,527,  respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME
- ---------------------

     Net  interest income is the Corporation's largest component of income and
represents  the  difference  between  interest  and  fees  earned on loans and
investments  and  the  interest  paid  on  interest  bearing liabilities.  Net
interest  income  was $78,259 for the six months ended June 30, 1997, compared
with  $72,070  for  the same period in 1996.  Net interest income for the most
recent quarter was $39,859 compared to $36,913 for the three months ended June
30,  1996.    The  increased net interest income was the result of a 10.2% and
11.9%  increase in average earning assets on a quarter and year-to-date basis,
respectively,  compared  to 1996 periods, partially offset by a decline in the
net  interest  margin over the same periods.  Net interest income for the most
recent  quarter  was  $1,459  greater  than  the $38,400 recorded in the first
quarter  of 1997 due to the effects of an improved net interest margin coupled
with  a  $93.9  million  increase  in  average  earning  assets.

     The net interest margin is a percentage computed by dividing net interest
income  on  a fully taxable equivalent basis ("FTE") by average earning assets
and  represents a measure of basic earnings on interest bearing assets held by
the  Corporation.    The annualized net interest margins were 4.06% and 4.15%,
respectively,  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30, 1997 and 1996.  Average
earning assets for the six months ended June 30, 1997, increased to $3,999,482
from  $3,573,571  for  the  same period in 1996.  Average loans increased $247
million  to  $2,316,922

for  the  first half of 1997 compared to 1996 and represented 57.9% of earning
assets  in both periods.  Average investment securities increased $286 million
during the first six months of 1997 compared to 1996 and represented 41.4% and
38.4%  of  earning  assets for similar periods of 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The  securitization  of $235 million of residential mortgage loans during 1996
accounted  for  a  significant  portion  of  the  increase  in  the investment
portfolio.

====================================================================
</TABLE>


     The  decline in the net interest margin from the first six months of 1996
was  primarily  due  to  an  increased  cost  of funds.  Interest expense as a
percentage  of  earning assets increased by 8 basis points from 4.17% to 4.25%
from  the  first  half of 1996 to the first half of 1997, respectively, due to
more  competitive  pricing  and  a  shift  in  the  funding  mix to marginally
higher-costing  funds.    Interest  income  as  a percentage of earning assets
decreased  1 basis point to 8.31% during the first six months of 1997 compared
to  8.32%  during  the same period one year prior.  Yields on loans declined 8
basis  points  to  9.25%  during  this  period as a result of more competitive
pricing.    The  yield  on  investment securities increased from 6.90% for the
first  half  of  1996  to  7.01%  for  the  first  half  of  1997.

     An  ongoing  objective  of  the  Corporation's asset/liability management
policy  is to match rate-adjustable assets and liabilities at similar maturity
horizons  so  that  changes  in  interest  rates  will  not  result  in  wide
fluctuations  in  net  interest  income.    The  rate  sensitivity position is
computed for various repricing intervals by calculating rate sensitivity gaps.
The  Corporation  had  a cumulative one-year negative gap on June 30, 1997, of
$152,078  which  represented  3.8% of the $4,054,078 in earning assets at that
date.   Net interest income at financial institutions with negative gaps tends
to decrease in periods of rising interest rates and increase as interest rates
decline.    Management  also  utilizes  a  simulation  model  to  measure  the
Corporation's  net  interest  income  volatility  to  changes  in the level of
interest  rates,  interest  rate  spreads,  the  shape  of the yield curve and
changing  product  growth  patterns and investment strategies.  Results of the
simulation  model indicate that the Corporation's net interest income would be
affected  by  approximately  2.00%  or  less should interest rates increase or
decrease  by  up  to  200  basis  points.

NON-INTEREST INCOME
- --------------------

     During  the  first  six  months  of 1997, non-interest income was $27,872
compared  to  $25,788 reported for the same period in 1996.  The first quarter
of  1996  included  net gains of $2,578 from the securitization of residential
mortgage  loans.   Net securities gains of $505 were recorded during the first
six  months  of  1997 compared to $568 for the same period of 1996.  Excluding
net  loan securitization and securities gains, non-interest income for the six
months  ended June 30, 1997, totaled $27,367, which represented an increase of
20.9%  compared  to the same period of 1996.  Second quarter 1997 non-interest
income  was $1,580 greater than first quarter 1997 and $2,974 greater than the
1996  second  quarter.    Improvements  were  broad  based as all non-interest
categories  increased  from  second  quarter  1996  and  first  quarter  1997.

</TABLE>


     Service  charges  on  deposit  accounts  increased  $754  or 12.7% due to
increased  volumes  and  improved  efforts  to collect a greater percentage of
assessed  fees.  Insurance commissions increased $352 for the six months ended
June  30,  1997,  compared  to  1996.  Income from the sale of credit life and
disability  insurance  offered  by  the  Corporation's  banking  subsidiaries
increased  $178  or  10.4%  due  to  improved  sales  penetration  to new loan
customers.    Casualty  insurance  premiums  increased  $207 or 11.6%.  Profit
sharing  bonuses received from insurance underwriters during the first half of
1997, which are experience related and associated with policies written during
the  prior year, were $56 less than payments received in 1996.  Trust and plan
administration  fees  increased  $1,164  or  39.3%  compared  to the first six
months  of 1996 primarily due to increased benefit plan administration fees of
$932  resulting  from  the  May  31,  1996 purchase of Small Parker & Blossom.
Credit  card  and  other  non-interest fees on loans increased $187 during the
first  six months of 1997 compared to 1996 primarily due to increased merchant
credit  card transaction volumes.  Merchant transactions generated revenues of
$1,645  during  the  first  six months of 1997 compared to $1,462 for the same
period  one year ago.  This was partially offset by reduced retail credit card
revenues  due to the sale of the portfolio.  During the second quarter of 1997
the  Corporation  entered  into  a  joint marketing arrangement with a leading
national  credit card issuer which included the sale of its $31 million credit
card  portfolio.  The Corporation will continue to receive a portion of future
credit  card  revenues  generated  from  its customers without any credit risk
associated  with  the  outstanding

balances.    Mortgage banking revenues declined by $2,659 during the first six
months  of  1997  compared  to  the  same  period  of  1996.   The Corporation
securitized  $162  million  of  residential  mortgage  loans  during the first
quarter  of  1996  resulting in net gains of $2,578.  Mortgage banking revenue
was  $1,269  for  the second quarter of 1997 compared to $1,229 for the second
quarter of 1996 and $1,113 for the first quarter of 1997.  Investment products
fees  decreased  8.8%  to  $1,736  for the first half of 1997 due to decreased
brokered  certificates  of  deposit,  annuity  and mutual fund sales activity.
Sales  volume  increased  during  the  second  quarter  of  1997, resulting in
revenues  of  $906 compared to $830 for the first quarter of 1997 and $820 for
the  second  quarter of 1996.  Other income increased to $5,489 during the six
months  ended  June  30,  1997, from $2,973 for the comparable period of 1996.
The Corporation recorded a gain of $646 during the second quarter of 1997 from
the sale of its credit card portfolio, as previously discussed.  The remaining
increase is due in part to increased revenues of $190 from net trading account
gains, $123 from the expiration of interest rate option contracts, $934 from a
corporate-owned  life  insurance program and $361 from non-customer ATM access
fees,  a  new  revenue  source  beginning  in  May  1996.

     Non-interest  expense,  which  includes  personnel,  occupancy  costs,

2.3%.    Non-recurring  charges  of  $2.3 million, primarily related to office
closures,  were  included  in  non-interest  expenses for the first quarter of

     Salaries  and  employee  benefits  increased  $3,320 or 10.4% for the six

increased  $1,289 to $2,328 during the first half of 1997 and represented 6.6%
of salaries and employee benefits expense compared to 3.3% for the same period
of  1996.    The  Corporation continues to emphasize  performance-based awards
tied  to  net  income per share and sales of fee-based services.  A portion of
the  salary  expense  increase  is  due  to  increased  staff  from  May  1996
acquisitions where prior periods were not restated, including DuQuoin Bancorp,
Small Parker & Blossom and Money One.  The remaining increase is generally due
to  normal  salary  increases  and related expenses associated with increased

business  activity.  Occupancy and equipment expenses increased 7.6% and 6.9%,
respectively,  during  the  first  six  months  of 1997 as the Corporation was
operating  additional  finance  offices  and  two new non-banking subsidiaries
during  1997  compared  to 1996.  Reduced credit card promotions resulted in a
reduction  in  advertising  expense  of  $360  or  15.6%  from  one  year ago.
Management  chose  not  to  offer any significant credit card solicitations in
light  of the pending sale of its portfolio, which became effective May 30, as
previously discussed and the increase in credit card delinquencies experienced
nationally  by  the  credit  card  industry.  Professional fees increased $357
during  the first half of 1997 compared to the same period one year ago due to
increased  legal  fees and fees in lieu of salaries as certain staff functions
have  been  outsourced.    Postage  and freight expense decreased $164 or 8.7%
during  the  six  months  ended June 30, 1997, compared to the same period one
year  ago  due  to  cost  benefits  associated with additional centralization.
Other  expenses  decreased $2,231 during the first six months of 1997 compared
to the same period of 1996.  One-time charges of $1,983 related to the closure
of  five  offices recorded during first quarter 1996 accounted for most of the
decrease.   FDIC assessments decreased $1,085 during the six months ended June
30,  1997,  compared to the same period of 1996 as a result of assessment rate
modifications  approved in September 1996.  Operating expenses as a percentage
of  revenues,  commonly referred to as the efficiency ratio, improved from 63%
during  the  first  six  months  of 1996 to 59% during the first six months of
1997.

INCOME TAX EXPENSE
- --------------------

     Income  tax  expense  was $11,975 for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
compared with $11,029 for the same period in 1996.  The effective tax rate was
33.6% and 35.6% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The decline in the effective tax rate is attributable to an increase in income
from  tax  exempt  sources,  including  municipal  investments  and  corporate
owned-life  insurance.    Tax exempt interest income from municipal securities
increased $1,608 during the first six months of 1997 as additional investments
were  made.  Investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies on certain
officers  generated  $934  of  additional income during the first half of 1997
compared  to  the  same  period  one  year  ago.

LOANS
- -----

     Loans  were  $2,374,309  at  June  30,  1997,  compared  to $2,275,089 at
December  31,  1996,  and  $2,126,398  at  June  30, 1996.  The loan portfolio
increased  $99,220 or 8.7% annualized from year-end 1996 and $247,911 or 11.7%
from one year ago.  The  May 30, sale of the $31 million credit card portfolio
resulted in a decline in outstanding consumer loans at June 30, 1997, compared
to  year-end 1996.  Growth was experienced in all other loan categories during
the  second  quarter  of 1997 compared to year-end 1996 and one year prior and
the  mix  of  the  loan  portfolio  remained relatively constant over the last
twelve  months.

      Commercial  loans  increased  to  $711,050 at June 30, 1997, compared to
$679,609 at December 31, 1996 and $622,694 at June 30, 1996.  Commercial loans
accounted  for  29.9% of the loan portfolio at June 30, 1997 compared to 29.3%
at  June  30,  1996.

     Real  estate mortgage loans, which consist of residential, commercial and
agricultural  loans  secured  by  real  estate and construction loans, totaled
$1,049,081 at June 30, 1997, compared to $911,704 one year prior.  Residential
mortgage  loans  increased  $18,520 or 2.5% from year-end and $55,424 from one
year ago.  Approximately $73 million of adjustable rate loans were securitized
during  the  third  quarter of 1996.  Residential mortgage loans were 32.0% of
total  loans  at  June 30, 1997, compared to 33.1% one year prior.  Demand for
new  residential  mortgage  loans  remained strong throughout most of 1996 and
during  the  second  quarter  of  1997  but the Corporation sold a significant
portion  of  that  production.    The  Corporation  originated  $52 million of
residential mortgage loans in the first quarter of 1997 and $77 million in the
second  quarter.  Current asset-liability management policy dictates that most
adjustable  rate  and  fixed  rate loans with original maturities exceeding 15
years are sold in the secondary market or securitized.  Fixed rate balloon and
15-year  mortgage  loans  may  be sold, securitized and held in the investment
portfolio or held in the loan portfolio, depending on market conditions at the
time  the  loan is originated. While the Corporation may sell certain loans in
the  secondary  market,  servicing rights are generally retained.  At June 30,
1997,  $851,154  of residential mortgage loans originated by the Corporation's
banks  and  subsequently sold in the secondary market were being serviced.  In
addition  to  residential  real  estate  mortgages  reported  as  loans,  the
Corporation  held $10,466, $6,457 and $76,150 of real estate loans for sale at
June  30,  1997,  December  31,  1996, and June 30, 1996, respectively.  These
loans  were  $76,150  at  June  30,  1996.

     Consumer  loans,  which  include installment, home equity and credit card
loans, decreased $4,401 from December 31, 1996, and increased $18,324 from one
year  ago.    As  previously  mentioned,  the Corporation sold its credit card
portfolio effective May 30.  These loans totaled $34,523 at December 31, 1996,
and  $34,474  at  June  30, 1996.  Excluding credit card loans, consumer loans
increased  $30,122  and  $52,798  from  December  31, 1996, and June 30, 1996,
respectively.  Of this increase from one year ago, $19.2 million is the result
of  1996  acquisitions.   Installment loan balances have continued to increase
during  1997  primarily  due to indirect automobile loans.  Direct installment
loan  activity  was  promoted  more  heavily  during  the  second  quarter and
increased  $5,532  or  4.1%  annualized  from year-end 1996.  Home equity  and
other  lines of credit outstandings increased $7,640 and $20,527 from year-end
1996  and  one  year  ago,  respectively.

     The  Corporation's  loan  portfolio  contains  no  loans  to  foreign
governments,  foreign  enterprises,  foreign operations of domestic companies,
nor  any concentrations to borrowers engaged in the same or similar industries
that  exceed  10%  of  total  loans.

ASSET QUALITY
- --------------

     The  allowance  for  loan  losses  is  maintained  at  a level considered
adequate  by  management to absorb potential loan losses by evaluations of the
loan  portfolio on a continuing basis.  This evaluation by management includes
consideration  of past loan loss experience, changes in the composition of the
portfolio,  the volume and condition of loans outstanding, expected cash flows
or  the  observable  market  price  of  the  loans  or  the  fair value of the
collateral  for impaired loans, as well as the financial condition of specific
borrowers  and  current  economic  conditions.

     The  allowance for loan losses was $32,910 at June 30, 1997, representing
1.39%  of  total  loans,  compared  with  $31,262  at December 31, 1996, which
represented  1.37%  of  total loans.  At June 30, 1996, the allowance for loan
losses  was  $30,372  and  represented  1.43%  of total loans.  Annualized net
charge-offs  to  average  loans  was  .37% during the first six months of 1997
compared  to  .45% for the same period of 1996.  The provision for loan losses
to  average loans was .52% and .36% for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively.  The allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was
173%  at  June  30,  1997, compared to 144% at December 31, 1996, and 157%  at
June  30,  1996.

     Risk  assets  consist  of non-performing loans, foreclosed properties and
loans  90 days or more past due but accruing.  Although these assets have more
than a normal risk of loss, they will not necessarily result in a higher level
of  future  charge-offs  or  losses.

     Non-performing  loans  consist  of  loans  classified  as  troubled  debt
restructurings and loans on non-accrual status.  As indicated in the following
table,  the  Corporation's  non-performing  loans as of June 30, 1997, totaled
$19,044,  a  decrease  of  $2,722  from December 31, 1996.  The non-performing
loans  to  total loans ratio was .80% on June 30, 1997, as compared to .96% on
December  31,  1996,  and  .91%  on  June  30,  1996.    Total  risk  assets

December 31, 1996.  In addition to loans classified as risk assets, there were
other  loans  totaling  $7,668  at  June  30,  1997,  where the borrowers were
experiencing  difficulties and management is closely monitoring the borrowers'
abilities  to  comply with payment terms.  However, conditions at this time do
not  warrant  classification  as  risk  assets.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
- ----------------------

     Total  investment  securities  available  for  sale  and held to maturity
represented  41.1%  of  earning assets at June 30, 1997, compared to 41.3% and
40.5%  at  December  31, 1996, and June 30, 1996, respectively.  The portfolio
has  continued  to  shift  toward  investments  in mortgage-backed securities,
predominately  underwritten  to the standards of, and guaranteed by government
sponsored  enterprises.   These securities generally yield 70-100 basis points
more  than  comparable  U.S.  Treasury securities.  Mortgage-backed securities
differ  from  traditional debt securities in that they have uncertain maturity
dates  and  are  priced  based on estimated prepayment rates on the underlying
mortgages.    Prepayment  rates  generally  can be expected to increase during
periods  of lower interest rates as the underlying mortgages are refinanced at
lower  market  rates.    Conversely,  the  average  lives  of these securities
generally are extended as interest rates increase.  The estimated average life
of  these  securities  and  the overall portfolio was 4.3 years and 4.9 years,
respectively,  at  June  30,  1997.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS
- -----------------------------------

     Total  deposits  were $3,086,380 at June 30, 1997, compared to $3,114,730
and  $2,974,357  at December 31, 1996, and June 30, 1996, respectively.  Since
December  31,  1996, non-interest bearing deposits, which were seasonally high
at  year-end,  declined  by $12,383 and interest bearing deposits decreased by
$15,967.    A change in the mix of interest-bearing deposits due to changes in
market  rates and new product features and promotions resulted in money market
deposit  accounts  increasing  $46,469  from  year-end to $375,261 while large
certificates  of deposit declined $50,975 during this period to $194,406.  The
Corporation  increased  its  short-term  borrowings  as  a more cost-effective
funding  alternative  to  large  certificates  of  deposit  and  certain other
interest-bearing  deposit  sources.    Non-interest bearing deposits increased
from  June  30,  1996, by $19,861 while interest bearing deposits increased by
$92,162.

     Securities  sold  under  repurchase  agreements  are acquired in national
markets  as  well  as from the Corporation's commercial customers as part of a
cash  management  service.    Repurchase  agreements, which play a key role in
funding earning assets, were $610,720, $530,261 and $445,124 at June 30, 1997,
December  31,  1996,  and  June  30,  1996,  respectively.  A portion of these
repurchase  agreements, acquired to fund certain fixed rate earning assets, is
being  hedged  by  interest  rate  caps.

     Long-term debt totaled $216,509 at June 30, 1997, compared to $176,730 at
December  31,  1996, and $199,846 at June 30, 1996.  Advances from the Federal
Home  Loan  Bank  accounted  for  $183,640 of total long-term debt at June 30,
1997.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- ----------------------------------

     Liquidity  is  a  measure  of  the  Corporation's  ability  to  meet  its
customers' present and future deposit withdrawals and/or increased loan demand
without  unduly  penalizing  earnings.   The Corporation manages its liquidity
needs through a coordinated asset/liability management program directed by the
Funds  Management  and  Investment  Committee.

     Liquidity  is  provided  by  projecting credit demand and other financial
needs  and  then  maintaining  sufficient  funding  sources and assets readily
convertible  into  cash  to  meet  these  requirements.    The Corporation has
provided  for  its  liquidity  needs by maintaining adequate balances in money
market assets, through growth in core deposits, maturing loans and investments
in  its  securities  portfolio and by maintaining various short-term borrowing
sources.    At  June  30,  1997,  the  Corporation  had $249,600 in investment
securities maturing within one year.  The Corporation additionally has federal
funds  lines  and  other  borrowing sources available to it and its subsidiary
banks.    Investment  securities maturing within one year and unused borrowing
sources  are considered by management to provide adequate liquidity in view of
projected needs.  The Parent Company's liquidity is provided by dividends from
its  subsidiaries and a $20,000 bank line of credit of which $15,000 was being
used  at  June  30,  1997.

     The  Corporation  continues  to  maintain a strong capital position which
supports  its current needs and provides a sound foundation to support further
expansion.    Total  shareholders'  equity  at  June  30,  1997, was $325,774,
compared  to $325,414 at December 31, 1996 and $317,030 at June 30, 1996.  The
Corporation  and  its  banking  subsidiaries are subject to various regulatory
capital  requirements  administered  by  the  federal  banking  agencies.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, CONTINUED
- ----------------------------------------------

Under  capital  adequacy  guidelines  and  the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective  action,  the  Corporation  and  its banking subsidiaries must meet
specific  capital  guidelines  that  involve  quantitative  measures  of their
respective  assets,  liabilities,  and  certain  off-balance-sheet  items  as
calculated  under  regulatory  accounting  practices.    Capital  amounts  and
classification  are  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  its banking subsidiaries to maintain
minimum  amounts  and  ratios  of  total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the
regulations)  to  risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as
defined) to average assets (as defined).  Management believes, that as of June
30, 1997, the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries exceeded all regulatory
capital  adequacy  requirements  to  which  it  was  subject.

     As  of  June  30,  1997,  the  most  recent  notification from regulatory
agencies  categorized  the  subsidiary  banks  as  well  capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or
events  since  that  notification  that  management  believes have changed the
subsidiary  banks'  categories.  The Corporation's actual and minimum required
capital  amounts  and  ratios  as mandated by the regulators at June 30, 1997,
include:
