The Presbyterian synod, which will
convene in this city October II, will be
be composed of not less than 300
Ielegates. Besides there will be large
number OF visitors. It bchoves the
generous people of Roanoke to see that
her reputation for hospitality is main
tanned, and it is suggested that mem bers
of other denominations who are willing
to aid their Presbyterian brethren in
entertaining the synod notify Mr..
Robert McClelland, at the corner of
Third avenue and Henry street, how
many visitors they will take care of.
No time should be lost in doing this, as
the committee is anxious to perfect all
necessary arrangements at the earliest
possible moment.
The synod is composed of men OF
high character and influence, and Roam
okc will gain largely by making favor
able impression upon them.

Italian and negro women are peculiar

as the head handkerchief" and the use
of this article is a characteristic at
tempt upon the part of both races to
cling to customs learned in climate
very different from that of New York.
The determined way in which both
races cling to outdoor life is another
manifestation of the same instinct
The popular name for the italian and
negro headgear, by the way, admirably
illustrates the fate of words in the
mouths of the ignorant or thoughtless.
"Kerchief" means primarily head
covering. When this article of dress
came to be carried in the hand it took
the name of handkerchief, or ''hand-
head cover" and in still later times the
original ''kerchief'' popularity acquired
the name of 'head-handkerchief," viii CHI

lovers agreed that next day the judge
should be asked to name an early day

morning Col. Ashley stopped at the
stable to look at the bay FLY. When
he arrived at his Office he found he
must prepare brief in an important
case at once, but before he went to
work he wrote two notes and gave
them to his Office boy to deliver. AS
these two notes proved the beginning
of the correspondence which resulted
in duel, they are here copied ver-
batim. The first was to Judge Haw-
thorne, and read as follows:
MY DEAR SIa-I can wait no longer Nellie

she is to you and how hard it will be for you to
give her up, bot shall call on you this after
noon, present my case and plead with you TO

name an early day for our marriage. Remem-
Der our future happiness depends on your an

The other note was to Col Newton
Harris, and read as follows:

Two hours after sending these notes
Col. Ashley was in his Office busy pre-
pairing brief. The door opened sud-
denly and Judge Hawthorne's secretary
catered with letter IN his hand. 4

Ashley, but the colonel was in the
hands of his friends and could not be
seen.
At daybreak of the morning of the
duel Col Harris was aroused from slum-
Der by loud knocking at the door. He
went to the door and found Col. Ash
ley's office boy. The lad was pale with
fear and trembling in every limb.

| Col. Harris tore the letter open,
| glanced at its contents, and at once
knew a terrible mistake had been
made: the letters had gotten mixed.
Without waiting for coat or hat Col
Harris ran to his stable, mounted his
favorite bay flly, Nellie, and in five min
utes he was riding towards tho duel
ling ground at derby winning pace.
Clear and sharp two pistol shots rang
out, but the anger of Col. Ashley and
Judge Hawthorne had made their
nerves little unsteady, and the bullets
went wide of the mark.
Gentlemen, are you satisfied"
Both principals shook their heads and
again they were placed in position.
Before the second could give tho word

a moment later Col Harris rode ZIP be-

Judge Hawthorne was forced 10 read
the letter placed in his hands by Col.
Harris. AS he finished reading he
threw down his pistol and going over
to his opponent he said, as he extended
his hand: "Col. Ashley, it was all
mistake; have just received the letter
intended for me. l apologize and Mel
lie shall name the day for the wedding"
And you shall have Nellie, the bay
flly, for a wedding present, said Col.
Harris, when he understood the matter.

smile of pleasant anticipation was on
Col Ashley's face as he opened the let
ter, but as he glanced at It's contents
his countenance underwent a great
change. The letter was from Judge
Hawthorne and read:
SIR shall not ask or accept any expla-
nation Of the outrageous insults contained In
your letter OF this date. demand that you at
once make full apology, both TO my daughter
and myself"
For a moment Col. Ashley was
speechless with establishment and then
he quickly arrived at the conclusion
that his audacity in asking for the
hand of Miss Hawthorne was regarded
by her father as an insult Col Ashley
was a gentleman, a Kentucky gentle
man, the social equal of Judge Haw-
thorne, and no man must SO much a.
intimate that he would insult lady.
Judge Hawthorne's secretary soon
returned with the following letter
from Col. Ashley:
SrR-In reply TO your communication Of this
date in which ysu state that have tnsulted
your daughter and yourself, have the honor to
inform you that friend Of mine, empowered
to act for me, will call on you within an hour.
Respectfully, BEDFORD ASHLEY.
Within the hour Col. Ashley's friend
waited on Judge Hawthorne with
challenge to mortal combat. The
Judge in his note to Ashley had stated
that he would not accept any attempt
at an explanation, so there was moth
ing left for him to do but to choose his
weapons and name the time and place
of meeting, He soon found friend
willing to act for him, and the two
seconds, without further consultation
with their principals, proceeded to ar
range all preliminaries for the meet
ing Sunrise the following morning
was the time agreed upon and the
place was an opening in beautiful
grove only five miles from town. All
parties could take carriages in town at
daylight and reach the ground in time.
Every effort was made to keep the
affair quiet, so there would be no inter
ruption, but in some way it leaked out,
and before midnight half the men in
town knew that Judge Hawthorne and
Col Ashley would fight duel at sun
rise, and no one knew the exact cause
of it. Among others who heard of the
affair was Col. Ashley's Office boy, and
when he learned that the duel had been
brought about by a letter he was very
much alarmed. He had delivered Col.
Ashley's note to Judge Hawthorne, but
had been unable to find Col. Harris.
The conviction that he was in some
way responsible for the coming duel
grew on the boy until he was unable to
sleep that night He tried to find Col.

Portable income and only needed a wife
to complete his happiness.
Miss Nellie Hawthorne, only daugh-
ter of Judge Hawthorne, was the belle
of the village, and among her score of
admirers it was plain she preferred Col.
Ashley, who had been devoted to her
since her return from school.
Judge Hawthorne and Col. Ashley
were warm personal friends. They
agreed on politics, attended the races
together and backed the same horses,
the judge always placing implicit con-
fidence in the colonels Judgment. The
Judge loved his pretty daughter very
dearly and he was we'll pleased when
his dearest friend, Col Ashley, asked
and obtained his consent to seek the
hand and heart of Nellie. But l can
not give her mp for a long time yet"
said the judge, land if you win her
love, Ashley, you must be content to
wait awhile before you ask for her
hand"
Col. Ashley pressed his suit at the
court of Cupid and won it. Pretty Mel
lie Hawthorne blushingly acknowl-
edged that she loved him very dearly
and would become his wife whenever
her father gave his consent.
The colonel had promised to wait
awhile for the wedding, but in few
weeks the waiting seemed very long
and he determined to see the judge and
if possible induce him to name the day.
A portion of Col Ashley's savings he
had invested in race horses, and he
owned a small string of very fine flyers.
He had purchased most of his horses from
Col. Newton Harris, veteran breeder
of thoroughbreds, who kept sale
stable in town, his farm being several
miles in the country. One day Col
Harris brought in from his farm very
promising young FLY, and he de-
termined to offer her first to his friend
Ashley, who wanted to purchase two or
three more fast ones. Meeting Ashley
on the street Col. Harris told him about
the FLY. go down to the stable any
time and tell the boys you want to see
the bay fitly, Nellie. You will buy
her as soon as YOU have seen her good

Col Ashley promised to call at the
stable at the first opportunity.
