Here's a little news event from a neighboring county:
[i:091e1aa4c0]A Lee County preacher demonstrating his faith by handling a rattlesnake in church - an illegal act practiced by some Pentecostal congregations in Appalachia - has died after the snake bit him.
"I guess it caught him by surprise," said Alfred Taylor, a member of Arthur's Chapel in Rose Hill, where the Rev. Dwayne Long, 45, was bitten during an Easter service.
Long, whose father was also a snake-handling preacher for more than 30 years, died at his home Monday after refusing medical treatment.
