Greer of Moultrie, Georgia, will tell the business men of this city i and all others who may wish to hear him, how a city in the cotton belt may get a packing house and what such an establishment will do lor a city and its territory. M,r, Greer is well qualified to apeak on this subject because Moul- Ltrle is in the cotton belt andja suc j jjr cesBluI packing house Is in opera ' tion there.

PEOPLE SATURDAY AFTERr,OON fey HENRY WOOD (United Presj Staff Correspondent) With French Armies advancing on Bnpaume Wood, Oct., 20 Since Wednesday night the Germans have been making terrific counter attack against the village of Sallly-Saillfsel conquered by the French in a brief but violent battle a few hours ear, Per. The fury of the German counters Is evidence of the importance ther attribute t() this position. By its capture the French have removed oiw of the strongest defenses south east of Hapaume ijnd one which German prisoners had repeatedly boasted was nntakable. At the same time by the cipture of this village the French have widened the breach in the German lines to a depth of more than eleven miles and have ex tended to French possession of the Peronne-Bapaiinie h'ghway by four and a half miles. The iiuick capture of SaiHy-Stilll-isel is a striking example of the power o ft he clash of the French infantry. Lat(. cli .'patches from Berlin re ceived this afternoon claim that the British gains of WeHnesday along the Somme have been virtually re covered by German counters. .Three British "Tanks'' were destroyed In Thursday's fighting. Dr. C. S. Blackwell at the River side Chapel last night spoke to a large crowd on "Man's Wounded God" based upon Is. 53 "Wounded for our transgressions and bruited for our iniquities." Redemption! He said in pitrt: The crucifixion of Jesus has al ways seemed foolish to the unre deemed man and a stumbling block to the Jews. It is like a puzzle and cannot be seen at first, but when Jesus is once found, nothing else can be seen. After a while, however unless care is exercised, the word loses its meaning. It is the task of the preacher to make the redeem ing blood of Jesus tangible to the mind. It is ont to be explained by logic, but rather by love, with par allel, likeness and illustration. Dr. Blackwell gave an illustration of a child that had been kidnapped and the kidnappers had agreed to return him to his parents for a big ransom. The money was furnished as directed and the child returned to bis parents, who with numerous trlends, shouted for Jo The Httle fellow could not understand the ex citement and expressed surprise that they thought he had been In danger, as he was treated nicely by nis kidnappers. Thus it is with sin ner. They do not know when the devil has them.

These illustrations, as revolting as th-4iiclclent8 mny ie, cannot lie compared to the ingratitude of the sinner, who received day after clay, the many lilesslngs of life, food, clothes, fronds, everything, that God has given, without a slen of gratitude. In addition, he gave His Son to die for sinners, who show their appreciation not only by re fusing to draw a single breath of gratitude, but also by taking that name In vain. At the close of the sermon one came out professing conversion and made public confession of Christ. Dr. Blackwell will speak tonight.
