The Hon. John Nj. Rice of Louisa, Law
renee County, Kentucky, has for the past
two years retired from active life as Grim
inal and Circuit Judge of the sixteenth
judicial District of Kentucky.
He has for many years served his native
county and State in the Legislature at
Frankfort and at Washington. and until
his retirement was a noted figure in polltl-
cal and judicial cirles. The Judge is well
known throughout the State, and pos
sesses the best qualities which go to make
Kentucky gentleman honored wherever
h. is known.

which finally caused his retirement at
time when his mental faculties were in the
zenith of their strength began their en-
croachment upon his naturally strong con-
stitution. A few days ago Kentucky

in the following words related the history
of the causes that led to his retirement.
