(( For 150 years, it saw justice handed out to thousands of people, but just a few years ago, Campbell County's old courthouse was nearly given a death sentence itself.
The county replaced the cramped and outdated courthouse with a new building in 1991 and the fate of the historic landmark was left hanging.
That's when Eleanor Carson and the county's historical society stepped in.

So Carson and her colleagues began a drive to save the courthouse from the wrecking ball.
Now a 200- thousand dollar renovation effort, paid for by the county, is nearly complete.

Now the question is: what to do with the building.

The Drought of '99 has devastated crops, poultry, and livestock in many parts of the State. But help will soon be on the way.
Governor Gilmore convened a meeting of the State Drought Monitoring Task Force yesterday and they agreed the greatest need at this time is help in transporting hay and water to livestock.
So Gilmore authorized the Virginia National Guard to help with the transport.
He also directed the state agriculture department to immediately identify and provide donated hay and water to drought stricken farmers.
