MRS. COPELY THAW
WEDS c. G; WHITNEY
Former Countess of Yarmouth
and Husband to Spend Their
Honeymoon in Europe.

ST. MARY'S, Ga. April 22-The we'd
ding of Mrs. Copley Thaw. who was
formerly the Countess of Yarmouth, and
Godfrey Gordon Whitney, of Boston,
took place today at Plum Orchard,
Cumberland Island, the country estate
of the brides sister. Mrs. George Car
neeie.
The ceremony was attended only by
relatives and few intimate friends of
the contracting parties. MIR. Whitney
and his bride will depart in few days
for Europe to spend their honeymoon.
They expect to return to this country
in time to spend the latter part of the
season at Newport.
Mrs. Copley Thaw is the daughter of
Mrs William Thax, of Pittsburgh, and a
sister of Harry X Thaw. In 1905 she
was married to the Earl of Yarmouth.
from whom she was divorced five years
later. The wedding took place in Pitts
burgh and was marked by some stirring
incidents.
Among these was the fact that after
the bridal party had gathered in the
magnificent Calvary Episcopal Church
and the officiating rector was ready to
perform the ceremony, there was long
delay, this being caused by the ulti-
matum of the earl that before he would
allow the ceremony to begin he must
receive 100000 of the Thaw fortune.
Finally. the attorneys were called in
and made an ARRANGEMENT satisfactory
to the principals. With the divorce In
1905 the earl lost his financial interest
in the marriage settlement. Since the
divorce he has become the Marquis OF

saw no reason why he should not look little sol

to commercial use of the unique situation Dagney.
He found one rich owning and running the town,
and everybody envious of him. This rich had a
newspaper to toot his horn. On the other hand the
vast majority of the population wanted voice. and
longed to see the rich taken down few pegs.
Why not capitalize this sentiment? Simpson acted.
He became editor of the other paper "The Banner"
First he purged himself of local contempt by explain

He confessed with due humiliation that his first

against grown mans being parted in the middle,
and as Harold was manfestly impossible he would ask
to be known as H. A. Simpson. The community went

First was George Ballow Green, whose
full name did not transpire in years, who
in the interesting meanwhile went by
"Sorrel" Green because of the color of
the tuft of hair that crowned his bullet
head. Green drifted into Dagnev as he
