CHANGES NAME IN
JUST HALF HOUR
Thirty Minutes After Getting
Divorce, Mrs. White liz
censed to Marry.

Friday afternoon within thirty min
utes after Judge Henry C. Fox of the
circuit court had severed the knot
which held Prudie White and Charles
White in matrimonial bonds, Mrs
White, accompanied by Rollo Wig
gans, living on North H street. for
whom she has been housekeeper for
several years. visited the office of
county clerk Harry E. Penny and Sc
cured a marriage license. They re-
fused to state who would perform the
ceremony but the name OF Judge Fox
was suggested.
This was the quickest action of it's
kind ever recorded in the Wayne cir
cult court. There have been several
instances where divorced persons Sc
cured licenses within a week after the
time the divorce was granted.
Mrs. White, probably Mrs. Wiggans
now. in her testimony for divorce de-
clared her first husband was too ne
glectful-forgetting that bills had
been run with the grocer, the butch
er and others at Upton where they
lived from December 6, 1905. to Feb
ruary IL, 1906. One day. two months
and six days after the marriage, the
first husband left the house telling his
wife that he would look for work,
naming farmer. whose existence was
myth, and since then Prudie White
has made her own way in the world.
