Taylor County Bank recently became a sponsor for the Taylor Regional Hospital Transportation Service.

The free van service provides transportation to eligible patients in Taylor, Adair, Green and Marion counties receiving services at the main hospital, rehab services or cancer center. The money collected from the sponsors will assist in maintaining this free service by offsetting some of the fuel costs associated with these trips.

If you would like more information about this service or would like to become a sponsor, call the public relations department at 789-5814.

Touted as the youngest ordained minister in history, 4-year-old Marjoe Gortner burst onto the Holy Ghost revival scene in the late 1940s.

His father, a second-generation preacher, trained the boy, who had a talent for sweeping and pointed gestures, to proclaim the name of "Jay-zus" - and bilk money from the faithful who came to hear him preach.
