Eagle BancGroup, Inc.

Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

At their regular monthly meeting on October 17, 1997, the Board of Directors
of Eagle BancGroup, Inc. (the 'Company') accepted a proposal from McGladrey &
Pullen, LLP ('McGladrey') to be the certifying accountant for the Company. 
McGladrey will audit the Company's financial statements beginning with the
year ended December 31, 1997.

Ernst & Young LLP ('Ernst'), was dismissed as the Company's certifying
accountant as a result of the decision by the Board of Directors.  The
engagement of McGladrey completed a formal review process conducted by the
Company regarding audit and tax work.

The reports issued by Ernst on either the Company's December 31, 1995 or
December 31, 1996 financial statements did not contain an adverse opinion or 
a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, 
audit scope or accounting principles.  As such, no further disclosure is
necessary herein pursuant to Regulation S-K, Item 304 (a) (1) (ii).

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1996 and the 
subsequent interim period through October 17, 1997, there were no
disagreements between Ernst and the Company regarding any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or 
auditing scope or procedure that would warrant disclosure herein under 
Regulation S-K, Item 304 (a) (1) (iv).  In addition, no other events occurred 
during the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1996 and the 
subsequent interim period through October 17, 1997 that would warrant 
disclosure herein under Regulation S-K, Item 304 (a) (1) (v).

A letter from Ernst in reference to this report is included herein as
Exhibit 16.
