ELLAVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY FEBRUARY 2, ’88,
DOR HIE,
BY WILSON BARKETT.
At the foot of one of tho beautiful
stands slopes of the Allegheny Mountains

Sparksville. A few years ago, com¬
est, paratively, hut civilization the place in was a dense for¬

along and cleared a path for itself
through to the woods, and sold a “lot”
Sparks, a str.r who ly youug Now Yorker named
at once set to work, cut
down some timber on one sale of tho
track, ran up a wooden shanty, began
to dig and plough for planting crops,
struck oil, bought more ground, form¬
ed a company, and before Sparks had
time to notice that he had aged aud
gone bald he was the grandfather of
proprietor two strapping young men, the third
of theSparksyilleOil Wells,
the largest owner of real estate for
Hides round. and practically the boss
ot the city of Sparksville, with twenty
thousand »ouls--a population which,
Lke the giant in the show, was still
growing. Not only oil, but natural
gas, coal and lead were found, and tile
enterprising both first settlers soon cleared
sides of tho railway track for
some three or four miles, built their
frame houses on either side thereof,
occupied what the railway left of tho
road with trarr/mr lines, aud called the
great This thoroughfare Washington street.

the Sparks,who States, did not in tho least astonish
took it as amatterof course
and went on working and doiug his
level best, for himself, his family, and
the :ty lie had founded. Certainly
»S: •ksville owed much more to Sparks
than its name. Sparks had built, at
hia own cost, a church, and had it
decorated to please himself. The
greater part of the exterior, which was
of wood, was painted a dead white.
The windows and shutters were of the
brightest green, touched up with Ver¬
million. The spire was relieved here
and there with torches of red and gold;
the vane was bright and gilt, aud
shone out in the sun gloriously. Sparks
kept that church always as spick-and-
span as a uew pin. He would have had
it painted every week if it wanted it
and never a rusty hinge or a cracked
pane of gloss was allowed to remain
unpolished or unmended, eyen for a
uay. The moment Sparks got his
church finished he started building a
grand opera house. This was the first
i rick and stone block erected in the
city, and the laying of the foundation
stone by Sparks resulted in a scene history of
excitement unparalleled in the
of Sparksvi'le. Block,” Of course it was theatre called
parks’ and the
“Sparks' Grand Opera House.” The
temple of tho drama was around in the it centre
of the block; under and were
a huge dry goods store, the Pennsylvania postoffice,
the Sparksville and
Bank and the Washington Hottd. reached The
parterre oi the theatre was by
two flights of broad wooden stairs, and
the gallery by two flights more. The
architect acted under Sparks' ord *rs,
who, not having the fear of the Lord
Chamberlain or the Board of Works
before his eyes, built his block to make
money, and that it certainly did and at
a wonderful rate. Sparks’ building motive, the to
his credit be it said, in
theatre was not altogether a had mercenary arisen
one. Many other edifices
in Sparksville which did not owe their
erection to Sparks—whisky other still bars,
gambling saloons aud more
unsavor. 1 , dens, where the minors and
others drank, played and fought.
Sparks “calculated” shrewdly employed that
three hours in a theatre were
tri m the same time spent in drinking
and gambling, and lie would have been
quite content if the “show business,”
as he called it, only helped 7 paid its clear own ex¬ tho
penses, so long as it to
infamous dens which ho had no power
to close. The Opera House was opened
with great eclat, and henceforth the
fences and boarding were bright with
flaming colored posters, illustrating
the exciting situations of the “great
and original drama” played by the
various combinations visiting Sparks-
vide. Certainly patrons of the drama
had little time to grow weary of the
pieces produced, for America Sparksville “one was
what is known in as a
night staud.” Now and then, iu holi
day time, a tuo sanguine four, manager and
would venture on three or
sometimes, though not often, six con¬
secutive performances- He generally
suffered for his temerity, however, and
many a “troupe,” as t hey are called iu
America, would have had to remain
su-anded high an 1 dry in Sparksville,
or have had to walk to the next city,
bat for Sparks, who, without ado or
fuss, would “plank dow . the dodar.s”
from his own private account to help
the poor players out of their difficul-

drama entitled “The Pride of the

one Kuow. She herself bad no oxpla-
nation to give, aave that she “kinder
supposed it was her name.’' Dobbie
seldom spoke save when she wwspok¬
en to, and not uiucli then. She was a
girl difficult of about tell. 19, She or perhaps had evidently less; it was

a hard life of it, and trouble might
have made her look oi than she
really was. She was a little under the

like a boy’s at the back of her head,
with a very stiff and assertive ‘‘bang”
iu front, tier eyes wore largo and at
most black, her nose was small and not
particularly well shaped, but she had
a pretty mouth and splendid teeth.aud
when she smiled, which was not very
often, there was something about her
that attracted one, and set one think
ing about her history. She the had East come
some few months ago from to
Sparksvillo in company with a scally¬
wag of a follow named Jack Crowdey,
whom she called “her man,” never her
husband—a worthless, drunken, idle
vagabond, Dobbie, who all spout that he most earned, of what in
and
drink and gambling, leaving tier to
provide nr. best she could for tae house¬
hold wants of both. Dobbie was a
stock “extra” at the Opera House, al¬
ways doing what was required of her
methodically and quietly, inv&ribly
going frmn her duties to huut up “tier
man” from some den or other, aud led
him off to their wretched lodging, often
getting cursed and cuffed by the
drunken brute for her pains. Dobbio’s
face sometimes boro the marKs of her
tnau’s brutality, but Dobbie never
complained. If questioned as lo the
cut or bruise she would
she got it somehow,” and no
of cross-examination could get any¬
thing more from her. Oa the b
night there had been a large
at the Opera House, au extra amount
of gunpowder had been expended,
there had been plenty of app'ause,and
Dobbie had been at intervals a guest
at in a fashionable aud (?) Indian ball, a whole mob

had not been noticed by Farrington,
who had plenty to d<> without looking
after the supers, as long as they did
not interfere With him. Had he looked
at her he might have wondered why
her gaze at him was so intense and sor-
r jwful. Then, again, he mightn’t, for
he was the star, and accustomed to be
stared at, kindly and rudely, admiring¬
ly and contemptuously, When according to
the taste of the starer. the play
was over Farrington was asked by a
friend, a native of the place, one Mat¬
thew Leyason, to “go place.” around with Nothing him

Along the wooden pavement that

it was late, and a few people wore
abroad. From some of the saloons
came sounds of musie aud dancing,
singing and shouting. Along the cen-
tre of tho road the mail train, bound
for the West, clanging came thundering, the en-
gme bell out warning of its
approach. A flash of light, a shower
sparks, a clour! or smoko, a roar, and
the train was gone, the bell clanging
iu the distance through the frosty air.
The momentary light from the railway
cars had shown muffled, Harry a female form,

hunting up “her man.” Piesently
Lovason turned a corner of a lane, and
led the way down some wooden steps
to a doorway, at which he gave a pacu-
liar kuock. A little wicket opened
quietly, an'iuspoction was made, aud a
voice asked “That you, Mr. Levason?”
“Yes,” said Levason.
“Who'sthe stranger ?”
“My friend. All right, hurry up,
Boodlor, if you don’t want us to freeze
oa your rotten old stoop.”
A bolt was was drawn and Harry aud
his friend were asked “to come iu right
quick.” This was easier said than
done, for to a stranger there was noth
ing to guide him, and the passage was
iu total darkness, but in a moment the
outer door was closed, au inner oue
opened, and Farringtou reeking found hiruself
in a long low room, with the
odor ot a bad spirit, baer and
tobacco, and the smell of the
oil lamps by which tip place
was lit. Groups of men were
scattered here and there at small
tables. Gambling of every kind was
going on. at the end of the room was a
faro bank. This place was known as
“Boodlor,s Dive” one of the worst
dens in Sparksville. and colored, Miners an l
loafers, white were
iutenton the play, tawdry, while two exagerated or three
women, with
finery, men,' 'were drinking with blear-eyed
,,Goin, to put o'n a few chips?
asked Boodler, tae bloated, red faced
bully who owned the place, “Well,
yes; just for the fan of losing. No one
expects ever to win a cent iu this old
cellar of yours, Boodlor,” said
Levason. ,, Who might your friend
be? asked Boodler, with a nod at
Farrington. Well, lie might be the
President or the new Parson, or a
British Lord, but ho aint, he’s just my
friend, and that’ll have to be good
enough introduction for to night
With a grunt Boodler Lovason, acquiesced
and Farrington and putting
down a few dollars, joined volley in of the play,
After a few minutes a curses
caused Farrington to turn to a group
close by him, consisting of two men
and a woman. Tho woman was evi-

and, having lost his money, was not

himself, while cries of “Clear

tile socks otl’n him, stranger!” mingled
with oaths and curses of those whose
play had been interrupted Farring¬
ton stood quite still aud waited. Jake
with a sudden movement, whipped out
a knife and aimed a blow at him,n hit h

Farrington’s professional and earthly
career there ami then forever; but, for

came caught

one hand, while ho took the knife from
him with the other. “You cur,” said
Farrington, “I’d shake the nreath out
of your body as soon as not." Dobbie,
who had been pushed back in the
scrimmage, ran forward, and, catching
him Farringtou by the arm, said: “Let
go, sir, please: he ain’t right sober

said the bully Farrington. As lie released and, Jake
shook himself, glaring
at Farrington, said, “I know yer, yer

if I wait a lifetime.” Before Farring¬
ton had time to answer there was a
whistle heard outside, a battering at
the door, and with half smothered im¬
precations aud curses, there was a rush
for a passage at the side of the room,
•’Dern yer skins, yer’ve started the
police,” shouted Boodter; “out with the
lamps; this way, quick!”
a moment the place was utter
darkness. Farrington was seized by
the arm and dragged along and quickly. Farring¬ A
dooi was quietly opened,
ton found himself in a yard at the rear
of the house with Lovason. “Git as
quiet and quick as you can. and be
denied to you,” said Boodler as ho
closed ami barred the door. The
friends needed no encouragement to
but sped along to their ho¬
tel, thankful to have got out of the
scrape so cheaply. Poor Dobbie had
not fared so well. Fho had escaped
with Jake, but the ruffian wis smart¬
ing with the pain of a broken nose and
furious at his humiliation. “I’ll make
you both pay for this. This is the
showman that mashed vou in
Boston, ain’t it? Aud you took his
to-night,” said Jake as they wout
the street. “I took your part if it
to that, Jake. I guess he didn’t
talk of mashing, he ain't ever looked
