No foul play suspected in woman's death
Though the cause of death will not be known until an autopsy report is issued, foul play is not suspected in the death of a local woman.

Senate candidate visits Campbellsville
U.S. Senate candidate Greg Fischer, a Louisville Democrat, campaigned in Campbellsville on Friday.
Fischer is one of eight Democrats who filed for the race in an attempt to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell. At this point in the race, polls show his main competition is two-time gubernatorial candidate Bruce Lunsford. Lunsford's campaign was boosted when former rival Andrew Horne dropped out of the race in February and offered his endorsement.
But Fischer said on Friday that his poll numbers are on the rise while Lunsford's are on the decline.

Making History
A few years ago, Sue Smith was having some work done on the High Street home she and her husband Willard share. When workers removed the fireplace mantel, they discovered a note that had been tucked between the mantel and the wall.
"It said the mantel was built in 1926," Mrs. Smith said.
She knew her home had been built some years ago, but, now, it seemed she had proof.
Today, Smith knows the history of not only her home but several of her neighbors' homes as well.

Food pantry faces shortage
Every month, about 250 Taylor Countians look to the local food pantry to help feed their families. However, with funds running low, the pantry is about a month away from halting services.
At the moment, the pantry has about $4,000 dollars on hand, said Taylor County Ministerial Association President Michael Goodwin. The ministerial association oversees the pantry.
With an average weekly expense of $1,000, Goodwin said, there is only enough money to provide food to the needy for one more month.
