young manhood he came back to

His worth was quickly recognized
and he was elected Superintendent
of County Schools. Then he was
elected Police Judge of Harrods-
burg, and after fout years of good
service in that capacity was pro-
NOTED to the bench Of the Mercer
County Court tor two terms. Judge
Saufley appointed Hughes master
commissioner of the Mercer Circuit
Court and for a dozen years he fill
ed that position. Then he was
again elected County Judge, which
position he now holds.
During all these years Judge
Hughes has been an extensive
land holder, and for ten years has
been one of the most practical and
successful farmers in the county,
operating until quite recently a

however, this is simply a peaceful
migration from the crowded

able location is found the bees will
settle and go to work building new

industrious little insects will have
begun work. Some will go off for
honey. Others will start out on an
inspection tour OF the hive walking
carefully all around the inside to
see if there are any cracks. Now a
bee hates draft worse than a cal
