This is a file of local news articles appearing in the TULLY, N.Y., TIMES issue of May 25, 1907.  This old newspaper was scanned and translated into a searchable computer data base, so that names and events of local interest might be more readily available for genealogists and historians who work with computers.

Surnames and places are for local items of interest only, and include those items appearing in legal notices, local news items, correspondence, classified advertisements, obituaries, and the like. Names, places, and events given in national and international news items or in large block advertisements are not included.

The names and places are exactly as they appear in the newspaper. During the scanning and translation processes, the computer was trained to recognize the typography of the newspaper and many words were questioned and cross-checked for accuracy. A subsequent checking of spelling revealed a number of apparent errors, but, except for a few obvious and very minor typographical errors, no attempt was made to correct apparent misspellings of any word, or to change the editorial style of the paper, such as capitalization or punctuation. A few surnames have variations, such as an “ei - ie” transposition, or a missing “e” at the end of the name. Searches should take into account possible misspellings.

Indexes of surnames and places are provided at the end of the file for a quick reference.

REV. J.W. HUFF RESIGNS

Will Enter Anti-Saloon League Work

The members of the Tabernacle Baptist church, Ithaca, were surprised and also
deeply grieved on Sunday evening last to learn that their pastor, Rev. J. W.
Huff, who was formerly the pastor of the First Baptist church of this place,
and who went to the Ithaca church from here about two years ago, was about to
leave them to accept a call to become a superintendent of the anti-saloon
league in the southern district of this state with headquarters either at
Binghamton or Elmira.
The resignation takes effect June 30. His chief reason for wishing to leave
was on account of his own health and that of his family. He, with some
friends, will make a European trip, returning about August 1, after which he
will take up his new duties, lecturing about his trip in connection with them.
Mr. Huff has been very successful there, the church building having been
greatly enlarged and all outlays pledged except $1,000. There have been over
150 conversions and 90 new names added to the church.
The church is one of 32 churches in the United States, England and Canada to
have its Sunday-school work exhibited this month at Rome, Italy.
 

EXTREMELY COLD FOR MAY

Snow on Monday and Tuesday Mornings

Sunday last the Foster “cold snap” swooped down upon this vicinity and people
who had put off heavy underwear, hastened to get acquainted with it again.
Monday morning, George Spence, with the thermometer near the freezing point,
came down town with a straw hat on but quickly put it away when he found
nearly everybody with heavy overcoats and winter clothing. Had George been up
early he would have witnessed a good stiff snowstorm, which, however, melted
as fast as it fell. Tuesday morning was not much better, there being snow in
the air and the stiff northwest wind still blowing. One man at least found a
heavy overcoat and mittens not uncomfortable while planting potatoes that
morning.
Foster, who has predicted this unusual weather through April and into May, has
certainly made some good guesses and blames the bad behavior of these two
months onto the planet Mars. Either Foster or Mars ought to be paid to
emigrate far enough away to prevent a repetition of the conditions which have
prevailed of late. Its most too much of a continuous performance.
Warmer weather followed on Wednesday and Thursday.
 

SUES FOR DAMAGES

Wants $10,000 for Injuries

Mrs. Annetta Sears is bringing action against John Dunfee, Ambrose C.
Driscoll, John T. Delaney and Edward Terry, the contracting firm which was
repairing the Fabius and Apulia road at the time that the accident occurred to
her for the sum of $10,000. George Sears appeared for her and M.L. McCarthy
for the defendants.
Mrs. Sears states that the excavations were left in a dangerous condition
without lights or any means to protect the travelling public and that she was
in no way negligent in taking proper precautions. The plaintiff was in court
on crutches and was obliged to receive assistance from a woman companion in
the Supreme Court room.
The defendants in answer set up a general denial and declare that if the
plaintiff received any injuries they were due to her own carelessness, or to
that of her companion. They furthermore state that Mrs. Dunfee and John J.
Cummins, executors of the estate of John Dunfee, one of the defendants named,
have not been made defendant parties in the action.
On October 12, Mrs. Sears and Mrs. Markham were driving after dark that
evening from Apulia station to Fabius in a carriage of which Mrs. Markham was
the driver. As the two women were driving leisurely along, their rig suddenly
dropped off the side of the road into an excavation several feet deep,
throwing Mrs. Sears out and injuring her quite severely.
The jury reported that they could not agree.

Bailer-Hobart

On Thursday, May 23, at 2:30 p.m. Rev. Willis Bailey united in marriage Miss
Luella Hobart and Mr. Fred Bailer. The ceremony was performed at the bride’s
home immediately after which dinner was served. Mr. Edward Bailer, brother of
the groom, acted as best man and Miss Dora Hobart, sister of the bride, acted
as bridesmaid.
Mr. and Mrs., Bailer left for a short trip to New York. Before leaving they
were liberally showered with rice. The happy couple were presented with many
handsome and useful presents.
Mr. and Mrs. Bailer will make their future home in Otisco.

BASEBALL

The Homer team failing to appear on Saturday last and the rain, which came up
about 3:45 p.m. were two things over which the Tully High School team had no
control, so there was no ball game. Week before last a snow storm prevented
the game scheduled with Truxton. They will try it again this Saturday. Keep
trying, boys, you will get a game after awhile.

Truxton will line up against the high school boys for a ball game on Saturday
afternoon. Hartnet and Collins will be the battery for Truxton while “Cap”
Cummings and “Ed” Cain will do the honors for the Tully boys.

There will be a ball game here on Decoration Day, but just what arrangements
will be made is not known at this writing. It will probably be with Truxton.

Jimmie Pierce pitched for the Hanover Stars of Syracuse a few days ago, when
they played against the Ionas. The score stood 6 and 4 in favor of the Stars.
Pierce had 14 strikeouts to his credit.
