One can hardly call Old Tebeauville a dead town for the lights havCuever gone out of the village although her people moved a mile further up the road taking the railroad station ’ them. This level plain of wlregi and trees no longer echoes only the voice of her people. Various sounds such as can emanate from an up-to- date railroad shop, that cost more than It would have taken to buy the whole county of Ware In the pioneer days, keep tills old (own from being silent.

Flowers bloomed here the "year round and the time seemed far off when nature would demand her crisis. The chilled winds of war were about to blow hut life in this little town 'rejoiced in the sun shine under the blue skies. A vague unrest entered the bosom of the sober minded men of this quiet little village. There was an approach ing cataclysm. The question they often asked "Is It Just?" and the very aid told of a coming storm. The hand upon the wall was tracing In fiery letters, "Brother against brother." Old institutions crumbled and new Ideas dazzled the men. The War Between the States was on. Colquitt's Brigade received several recruits from Tebeau ville, arnoilg whom was the Honorable Philip Coleman Pendleton. He was engaged in planting and looking after his splendid timbered lands when the war came on. He raised a company olunteers In Ware county and upon its organization became major of the fifteenth Georgia regiment, participated in several Virginia cam paigns, being in the thick of the fight at the second battle of Manassas. Mr. Pendleton organized the first Sunday school In Ware county and was ably assisted by Mr. Speer. When they left to Join the Confederate Army the Sunday School room was closed. Alter a few months It was reorganized by one whose life has been a success and has furnished inspira tion to many in this section, Mrs. b. F. Williams, the wife of one of the surgeons in the Confederate Army. Mrs. William? lived a few miles from Tebeauville at Sunnyside near the Satilla river. She was a woman with a purpose, never faltering until she had accomplished what she designed to do. She was not only the superin tendent of the Sunday school but helped to organize a union church, composed of "Hard-Shells", Metho dists, Baptists and Presbyterians, that existed and flourished for years in perfect harmony. The distinguished Louis B. Pendle ton was born at Tebeauville. He is editorial writer for the "Macon Tele graph" and is an author of note having written a number of novels on juvenil es Including: Bewitched; In The Wiregrass; Klnb Tom and The Runa ways; The Wedding Garment; The Sons Of Ham; Carlta; In The Camp Of The Greeks, etc. Mr. Charles Pen dleton also of the "Macon Telegraph", spent five years of his boyhood days at Tebeauville. He has kindly furnished me with Its following early history: "Mr. Philip C. Pendldton settled In that portion of Waycross known as “Old Nine*', or Tebeauville, in 1887. At thot time a Savannah company ■ headed by Mr. Jas. Screven, father of the late John Screven, was building L. J. COOPER, Pmldint J. W. BELLINGER, Cuhltf. GOVERNMENT BONDS time was at a point twelve or fifteen miles east of Blackshear. The lyalng of the iron reached Mr. Pendleton' place avout a year later. The ol stage road bewteen Thomsvilie and Brunswick pssed here with a fork running to Burnt Fort on the Satilla River. There was a post office this place known as "Yankee Town.* called "Yankee Town" because '(bleak winter days. Saw mills and tur-1 northern people operated the stage J TTURNER ARCHITECT. Office LaGrande Building. P. O. Box 2 a railroad from Savannah to Thomas* War cross, Georgia* t villa.’ The western terminus for the 'coaches, and they had at this place of relay stable: but all this passed away with the coming of the railroad, and Screven nnmed the station "Pendle ton." Mr. Pendleton took the first train to Savannah and had It changed to Tebeauville, after Ills father-ln-ladw Capt. F. E. Teheau, of cue of the old Savannah families. “A yeat* or so later a civil engineer came along surveying the route for the old Brunswick and Albany road. When he arrived at Tebeauvine, made a side proposition to Mr. Pendle ton to run the prospective city off in lots and give him every alternate one, Pendleton did not think he was the one to deal with and told him so, and suggested that the president of the road come to see him about It. The engineer went back three or four miles, pulling up his stakes as he went, and made a curve to miss Mr. Pendleton’s land. If one will stand at the crossing near Tebeau Creek ta the heart of Waycross and look to wards Brunswick ho can see the curve In the road caused by this effort of the engineer to make something on tv.e side. "Thus Waycross was born, aiid Te- beauville died. Mr. Pendleton moved to Loundcs county in 18G4. "Tebeauville was called “Xumucr i Nine" because in those days the Rail road Company numbered all its sta tions. Blackshear was Number Eight and Glenmoro was Number 10, etc.*’ ■ While General Robert E.“Lee was in command of the coast defenses, Carolina, Georgia and Florida, ho stopped for a few hours in Tebeau ville. Many of the people who L'vt-f* here then remember seeing this Man of the Hour who still lives in the hearts of the people today. Among the citizens who resided there were the Tebeau’s, Rippard’s, Remshart’s, Parker's, Grovensteins’ Millers, bon- lottes, Sweats, Smiths and Clotting- hams. Among the first settlers of Ware county were: William Smith,-A. Jernagin, Wm. Drydcn, James Full- wood, John Williams, James Sweat, John Moore, Thomas Allman, Joseph Dyall, P. Bryan, W. M. King, Thomas Newborn, L. Walker, James Jones, M. J. Miller, Thos. Hilliard, M.
