WE SHOULD HONOR ANT) REVERE THE AGED I know of no more pathetic figure than an aged man or woman in full possession of their faculties, who has arrived at that period of life when they realize their activities have ceased, that they have fought their last battle, sheated the sword and are only awaiting the grim reaper to come along and bear them away. They perhaps have been leaders in their communities and have lived to see their influence wane and their places filled by the' young and vigorous. Your voice that was heard in the busy marts of trade and your influence that was felt in your community was al most forgotton when old age crept upon you and rendered you unable to hold the fort. The world loves youth and beauty and pays often an unde served tribute. Silver locks, bowed form and wrinkled face does not appeal to us. Innocent children awaken in us that love that is natural to the human heart. Bouyant youth touchts a responsive chord, but oh, how we fail to reverence and honor consecrated age. The good old gun that has been shot has been hung upon the wall or laid upon the shelf to rust. Ere the smoke of battle is cleared away, and the sound of the gun dies out in the distance, the cripple soldier has been forgotten. Mother! incomparable and inestimable mother, you have well nigh suffered the pangs of death, that the world might live. You have gone down through the valley of the shadow of death for us. You have fought a thousand battles and won. You have toiled, pinched and sacrificed, that your sons and husbands might succeed in life, and after many years of toil and consecration to duty how often we forget and neglect you. You are often referred to “as that old woman,’ ’ when you should be hailed as the uncrowned queen of the world. Do not neglect the aged. Greet them with a smile and a deference that belongs to them. If you live you will some day grow old and you may then realize the sadness of old age without spmcone to cheer you. QEOR GIA PR ODUCTS j The promoters of the Georgia Products Day had in mind the thought of advertising our resources —what we are producing, and what we can produce; but the underlying suggestion of great im portance is to create a home market for farm products. The one hundred banquets Tuesday, and the thousands of private dinners was a starter. A great many people and newspapers give a great deal of advice to farmers, but if you will get near to them you will find that their greatest need is for a local market for their produce— a market for stuff other than cotton. Does the average reader of the Telegraph know tnat the farm ers have next to no market in any of our cities and towns for beef and fresh pork? Do they know that they cannot sell to butchers, and why? And the butchers are not to blame, and why? The main reason is that we do not have local packing plants. The trade is controlled, therefore, by fereign concerns who are not purchasers in Georgia of “raw” material.—Macon Telegraph. NEWS FROM ROUTE ONE • Mr. Johnnie Manning was at home Sunday.

Greek Consul Pleased With Treaty Of Peace All Greeks Perfer Honorable Peace to Doubtful Gain Macon, Nov. 18. —Demetri Vafi adi, consul from Greece to the southern states, with headquarters in Atlanta, has returned to Atlanta after a visit of official inspection to Macon. He stated that the Greeks in all parts of the world, and peo ple of other nations are highly grat ified to learn of the signing of the treaty of peace last week. “All the Greeks rejoiced at hear ing of the end of the war and sign ing of the peaee treaty,” said Mr. Vafiadi to a Telegraph reporter. “While we never feired of any complication with Turkey ami were -lire of ultimate success for our armies, yet an honorable peace is i much more preferable to a doubtful j gain. “Greece came out victorious from 1 ~ . I every point of view —victorious in the field against two terrible foes; victorious as far as civilization is concerned and last but not least, victorious in her diplomatic under takings. “The 100,000 prisoners from both the wars are living witnesses of the civilized methods that were employed in treating them during their captivity. “Greece comes out of the war doubled in size and in population, and if the two points left open for final settlement by the powers, such as the disposition of the Albanian houndries and the Aegian Islands. In tins it is hoped that the powers will see that justice is done. “Freed from all complications of the war, Greece will see without the least delay that all the new terri tories get the benefit of the modern civilization. Macedonia and Epirus, bring two of the richest counties on the face of the earth which must be given every opportunity to be deyel- J, ' - oped. “Railroads are aheady under consideration for these rich .fields; mints and forests must he opened for development; electric plants and we,ter powers must he installed on the streams, and it could not he, to my mind, an impossibility for American capitalists to take part in the investments of capital in Greater Greece.’ “American investments will he not only welcome, but the Greek people, who arc so thankful to the American nation for the moral sup port. they' received during their re cent troubles, hut would he fully protected in every way possible and we believe they would he justified in making such investments from a financial point of view . “Within a few months there will he established Greek trans-Atlantic liners which will operate weekly and draw America and Greece into a closer business relation and he for the mutual benefit of the two na tions.” Mr. Yafidai states that while many of the American Greeks who were in the recent war will return to America to resume their busi ness many others were killed in battles. The consul says that re ports have come from Greece that the American Greeks distinguished themselves as being the best fighters in the recent war. —Macon Telegraph Hon. Demetri Vafiadi, Consul of Greece for the Southern States, Was a guest of Mr. and Mrs. Martin of our city, on his way to the different Greek communities of the South.
