    shares of Common Stock.  All such shares were purchased in
    over-the-counter transactions through standard brokerage
    accounts maintained by Mr. and Mrs. Davis.  All such shares
    were purchased with personal funds of Mr. and Mrs Davis."

Item 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

          A.   The information set forth in the following
paragraphs was disclosed in Item 4 pursuant to Amendment No. 2,
and is restated herein pursuant to Rule 13d-2(c). 

         "Mr. and Mrs. Davis originally acquired the shares of
    Common Stock for investment and without any purpose of
    changing or influencing the control of Mid-Iowa.  However,
    Mr. and Mrs. Davis now believe that their investment in the
    Common Stock would substantially appreciate in value through
    Mid-Iowa's participation in an acquisition transaction.  In
    a letter dated July 29, 1995 to Mid-Iowa's Board of
    Directors, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit No.
    2, Mr. Davis conveys his belief that the currently strong
    mergers and acquisitions environment in the banking industry
    provides Mid-Iowa's management with a tremendous opportunity
    to realize a considerable increase in the value of
    Mid-Iowa's Common Stock through its acquisition by a larger
    financial institution.

         In his letter, Mr. Davis states his view that
    Mid-Iowa's Common Stock would substantially increase in
    value through its acquisition, and that its Board of
    Directors owes a fiduciary obligation to Mid-Iowa's
    shareholders to pursue such an opportunity, rather than
    focusing on traditional operations which cannot provide
    similar returns.  On August 2, 1995, Mr. Davis sent
    additional news items to Mid-Iowa's Board of Directors,
    copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit No. 3, which
    further supports the opinions expressed in his July 29th
    letter.  Mr. Davis plans to engage in further communications
    and discussions with Mid-Iowa's management, Board of
    Directors and other shareholders regarding the matters
    discussed in his letter.

         Other than as described above, Mr. and Mrs. Davis do
    not have any plan or proposal which relates to or would
    result in any of the actions enumerated in Item 4 of
    Schedule 13D, except that Mr. and Mrs. Davis may dispose of
    some or all of the Common Stock or may acquire additional
    shares of Common Stock, from time to time, depending upon
    price and market conditions, evaluation of alternative
    investments, and other factors."

<PAGE>
          B.   Item 4 of the Statement is hereby further
supplemented by the addition of the following information:

         "The disposition of Common Stock, as set forth on
    Schedule A hereto, reflects investment decisions consistent
    with the purpose for which such shares of Common Stock were
    required."

Item 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          A.   Paragraphs (a) and (b) of Item 5 of the Statement
are amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

    beneficially owned by Mr. and Mrs. Davis for the purpose of
    this Statement is 81,252, representing 4.84 percent of the
    outstanding shares of Common Stock, based on 1,675,988
    shares of Common Stock disclosed by Mid-Iowa as outstanding
    on January 28, 1997.  Additionally, Mid-Iowa disclosed that
    since its initial public offering of shares of Common Stock
    it has authorized several separate stock dividends,
    including a stock split and several stock repurchases.  All
    shares of Common Stock are jointly held in the name of Mr.
    and Mrs. Davis.

         (b)  Subject to the matters referred to in paragraph
    (a) hereof, Mr. and Mrs. Davis have shared power to vote or
    direct the vote and shared power to dispose or direct the
    disposition of the 81,252 shares jointly held by them."

    since October 30, 1992 (the date of the Statement) is set
    forth in Schedule A attached hereto and is incorporated

    more than 5% of the Common Stock of Mid-Iowa on January 28,
