Item 8.01.  Other Events

     As previously announced on May 13, 2004, Capital City Bank Group, Inc. 
("CCBG") and its subsidiary, Capital City Bank, have executed an Agreement 
and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") with Farmers and Merchants Bank, a 
Georgia chartered bank ("FMB"), under which FMB will be acquired by CCBG in a 
merger transaction.  As set forth in the Agreement, each share of FMB Common 
Stock, excluding shares held by shareholders who perfect their statutory 
dissenters' rights, will be converted into the right to receive $666.50 in 
cash and an amount of CCBG Common Stock based on the average of the daily 
closing sales prices of one share of CCBG Common Stock for the twenty 
consecutive full trading days ending on the fifth full trading day preceding 
the closing date of the transaction (the "Average Closing Price").  As set 
forth in the Agreement, each holder of FMB Common Stock who would otherwise 
be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of CCBG Common Stock shall 
receive, in lieu thereof, cash, in an amount equal to such fractional part of 
a share of CCBG Common Stock multiplied by the Average Closing Price.  
Subject to approval of the transaction by the FMB shareowners at the special 
meeting called for October 15, 2004 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, the parties 
currently anticipate the transaction will close on October 15, 2004.

     Assuming that the FMB shareowners approve the transaction and that the 
transaction closes on October 15, 2004, the Average Closing Price for the 
period ending on October 8, 2004 would be $39.022 per share.  Based on these 
factors, each share of FMB Common Stock, excluding shares held by 
shareholders who perfect their statutory dissenters' rights, will be 
converted into the right to receive $666.50 in cash and 17.080 shares of CCBG 
Common Stock.  In addition, each holder of FMB Common Stock who would 
otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of CCBG Common Stock 
shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash, in an amount equal to such fractional 
part of a share of CCBG Common Stock multiplied by $39.022.
