FINLEY, TEN2T., WOMAN .
SLAIN AS. SHE SIEP
Slayer
Was
Used Ax and Head
Severed From Body.
Dyersburg, Tenn., Oct. .19. One
of the most brut&l murders ever
known in this section was commit
ted some time last night at Finley,
seven miles from here, when Mrs
Belle Feuerstein was slain with an
ax as she lay in bed between her
two children. The "crime was dis
covered when her husband, Pete
Feuerstein, returned home at
o'clock this (Tuesday) morning.
Feuerstein Is employed as engineer
at the Farmers' Cotton Oil Company
plant at Finley and his work at this
time of the year carries him until
after midnight. When he entered
the room occupied by his wife he
was horrified to find that she was
slain. The murderer had used an
ax, and the head of the woman had
been Severed from the body.
The two children lying in bed
with their mother were asleep, but
were covered with the blood of their
slain parent.
A hasty examination of the room
and the house by the husband show
ed no signs of robbery, and the mo
tive for the brutal crime is un
known.
The husband aroused neighbors,
and a telephone message was sent to
the sheriff here, who secured a' pack
of bloodhounds and started immedi
ately for the scene.
To please you pleases us.-

Freckles.
A dramatization of Gene Stratton
Porter's "Freckles," has proven that
there is no limit of success to good
clean, moral song plays. The Broad
way Amusement Co., first saw the
possibilities of Mrs. Porter's work
which now stands as one of the most
substantial successes in the past de
cade of theatrical history.
As a love story, it is full of real
sentiment. As a story of adventure,
it is positively gripping, in fact, in
all the elementary features, there is
no character or set of characters,
which have been on the American
stage for years, so intensely inter
esting, nor has tnere been a more
beautiful stage picture than is de
picted in this new song play.
The Broadway Amusement Co
have given "Freckles" a perfect stage
investiture, and there will be found
nothing wanting in the matter of
scenery, accessories, music or cast,
when this charming song play is pre
sented at the Reynolds Theatre Tues
day, Oct. 26.

Levee In Good Shape.
The Bondurant Construction Co.
completed on last Thursday the work
of raising and re-inforcing the. Reel-
foot levee to comply with the 1914
grade. The completion of this work
put the Reelfoot line in splendid
shape and should easily withstand
any water like that of 1912 and
1913. It will be remembered that
this line broke in 1912. flooding

London, Oct. 18. Reports that
the allies have occupied Strumitsa
and landed at Enos, which recently
was transferred from Turkish to Bul
garian rule, has caused a more op
timistic feeling thruout the allies
countries.
as 10 me progress or the near
eastern campaign, it is known from
both Servian and German accounts
that Field Marshal von Mackensen's
army is meeting with greater re
sistance than was expected, and, al
though it is probable the Servians
eventually must fall back on strong
er strategic positions in the North,
the fact that the allies are bringing
heavy forces against the Bulgarians,
and so placing them that the Bul
garians will be forced to divide their
armies, gives hope here that the
Germans may be balked in their
latest attempt to reach the sea and
bring assistanct to the Turks.
All along the line the Servians and
their Montenegrin neighbors, also at
tacked, are offering stubborn resist
ance to both Austro-Germans and
Bulgarians, and while they have giv
en up a number of towns and posi
tions, they have not yet reached the
line on which they expect to make
their stand.
The Bulgarians, so far as can be
learned, have made progress only in
the Zlotokopska Valley, near the
River Morava, north of the town of
Vranya, where they blew up a
bridge. There is no confirmation of
report that they cut the railway
in this district. The bridse was
near the railway. The Bulgarian
force which penetrated the valley is
not a large one.
DEDEAGHATCH THREATENED.
The capture of Strumitsa is of real
strategic value, as its occupation
permits the defense of the southern
end of the railway and compels the
Bulgarians to keep force there. Enos,
too, is of value, as, although not a
good landing place, its occupation
threatens Dedeaghatch, which has a
great harbor and is fortified and j
mined. The civilian population has
left Dedeaghatch, which is entirely
the hands of the military under
German officers.
The Italians, according to the
latest reports, will not send a con
iingeni to tne Balkans, but co-op
eration of their navy in the Aegean,
where an allied fleet has gathered.
looked for.
The point at which the Russians
ill strike has not been disclosed
The expectation, however, is that the
allies have a surprise for the central
powers and that steps are being tak
en to bring Turkey to her knees be
fore assistance can reach her.
There has been plenty of heavv
fighting on the eastern and western
fronts, but nowhere has either side
attempted a general offensive. The
Germans still are making a great
effort between Riga and Dvinsk and
have met with some minor successes,
but thence to the Roumanian bor
der, wherever there has been any
fighting it is the Russians who are
attacking, and they, too, claim some
gains.
Much the same conditions prevail
on the western front. The British
have been attacking east of Ver
melles, according to the Berlin re
port, while the Germans attacked
the French , near Souchez and the
French took the offensive in Cham
pagne, Lorraine and the Vosges.
None of these attempts is making
any marked, alterations in the posi
tions of the armies.

In Memory of Bessie Moores.
Whereas, it pleased God in his in
finite wisdom on Oct; 7, 1915, to
send his death angel into the home
of Mr. and Mrs. John Moores and
waft the spirit of their beloved neice
to a home where there is no future,
no past.
Bessie was born Aug. 7, 1897,
died Oct. 7, 1915, age 18 years and
months. Her mother was taken
when she was young. She has for
number of years made her home
with her uncle and aunt who loved
her as dearly as they could have an
own child. She professed faith in
Christ at the age of eleven years,
united with the Cumberland Presby
terian Church at Protemus of which
she lived a consistant member until
her death. She was a sweet-spirited,
lovable, Christian girl, and it seems
O so sad to give her up just in the
bloom of womanhood; but the Lord
never makes a mistake. . His way
is always best. She gave evidence
beyond a shadow of a doubt of her
preparedness to meet her Saviour.
She was permitted to reveal a heven
ly vision when she said, "Look,
auntie, there's brother." Her broth
er died when quite small. In the
dead hours of night she sang, "I'm
Coming Home." In her last days
She often said, "Come, auntie, let's go
home."
She leaves an uncle and aunt, Mr.
and Mrs. John Moores, a sister, Mrs.
Tom McDaniel, who was at her bed
side during her illness, a father and
sister in Arkansas who were unable
to be with her in her last days.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. C. M. Zwingle, of Union City,
and her body laid to rest in East
View Cemetery at Union City.
Resolved: First; That in her
death the church, Sunday school and"
community, in which she lived, suffer
an irreparable loss.
Second; That we extend to the
family our heartfelt sympathy. Com
mend them to the all-wise Father.
In His promise may they find com
fort that earthly friends4 are unable
to give.
Third; That a copy of these reso
lutions be spread upon the minutes
of the church book, a copy be sent
to the family, a copy be sent to her
father and sister in Arkansas, a
copy be sent the News-Banner and
one to The Union City Commercial
for publication.
