Waycross Herald: There are many
Il evidences THAI the Indians were once
Il quite numerous in Ware county and that
they had settlements, perhaps villages in

several points near the river east of the

II tons of pipes, pieces of pottery, tools
for dressing deer skins, etc.. etc. 1t is
quite probable that many years ago this
section was a veritable paradise for game
n of all sorts. The near vicinity of the
Okefinokee swamp doubtless added great

wild animals. Fish were here in abund-
ance, and taken altogether, this must
nave been glorious place for the red
man before the pale face came and drove
n him away.
