' THE YANCEY RECORD
FIRST TRIP HOME
IN 37 YEARS
Thirty seven years ago a
■ young man left his home
I hear Ledger and went to
) Virginia to work. He stay
ed there for only a year or
: two, however, and set out
for the west. He stayed
1 there through the years,
; then a few weeks ago he
■ decided to come home. He
s is now spending a visit (a
i more extended visit than
lhe had planned) with his
; sister, Mrs. Deck Jarrett,
. here..
The man is J. B. Sparks,
U and the story of the years
s | since he left this section is
i an interesting and full one.
1 In the early part of 1908
1 Sparks and his oldest sis
; ter and her family started
f for the west. His brother
- in-law with one of his sons
- had ] gone earlier and sett
lied in Baker, Ore., so the
' group joined them there
1 in March of 1908. V
The years that followed
t were very busy ones and
- tho Sparks often thought
sos returning home for a
visit he would not find the
- circumstances convenient
to leave. He kept putting
off till a future time that
visit which he planned to
make.
Soon/.after going west
Sparks entered the motion
picture theatre business in
j Portland and has been in
, the entertainment business
most of the time since. He
first began © operating'* the
projection machines back
in the days of the 2-reel
| silent films. At one time.
I he recalls, he traveled for
some weeks with that sup
(er thriller wild western,
“The Covered Wagon.”
. After working for sev
, eral theatres, he decided to
go into business for him
‘,<sp]f, anil vulting u
number of places he went
to Heppner, Ore. and op
ened a theatre there which
he operated for a number;
1 of years. Later he went to
' California where he locat
ed.
This spring Mr. Sparks
decided that he was com
ing home. He started from
San Francisco and drove to
Chicago, where he visited,
then started south. The
trip, all the way from Cal
ifornia, was uneventful un
i til he was within 3 or 4
(hours from home. Near
Knoxville he was in an au
tomobile accident and was
seriously injured. He was
placed in i cast from his
shoulders down, and after'
remaining in the hospital
for several weeks was
brought to the home of his
sister here.
If all goes well he’ll be
out of the cast on Sunday
week which is hi§. birthday.
Then he’ll be to
visit the scenes of his child
hood and see the changes
which nearly 40 years have
brought.
Mrs. Sparks came from
California whefi her hus
band was injured and re- ;
mained with him until this
week when she left for a
short visit with relatives
in Toccoa, Ga. 1
ten-year average of 42,293, ,
000 bushels.
“SOME TURNIP” "'1
... ....
" Zeb King brought a tur
nip to town Monday that
you won’t believe until you
see it It measures over 24
inches around and weighs
six pounds.
Mr. King says that this
giant turnip and 10 bushels
like it grew in his oat field.
When he was planting the
oats, Mrs. King brought a
handful of Seven Top tur
nip seed to be planted at
the same time. The turnips
grew, and he waited till
the oats were cut to har :
vest them.
r Althoughthe turnips are
very large they are firm
and sweet, Mr. King says.
