The old court house at Philippi,
one of the oldest landmarks in West
Virginia, is to come down to give way
to new and modern court house
that will cost about $4,000 The
question of voting on issuing bonds
will be voted on September 3. Bar
bour county needs a court house very
badly and the only reason why one
has not been erected before was the

court house was used as hospital.
The court rooms are about as ancient
as one can imagine, but the historic
old building must go.
