                        Hymeneal.

      Mr. John N. Nevers and Anna L. Brockway, both of Brainerd, Minn., were very quietly marred at the First M. E. church, yesterday, by the paster, Rev. T. McClary.—[Minneapolis Pioneer Press.
      We heartily congratulate the happy couple, and welcome with pleasure our old friend Nevers to the army of Benedicts; and that their wedded life may be a long and happy one through which they may ever bless their wedding day is the wish of the TRIBUNE. (Brainerd Tribune, 27 December 1879, p. 4, c. 3)

      The married as well as the single gentlemen of Brainerd should make an especial effort to call upon the ladies who keep open house on New Year's Day.

The evening was very pleasantly spent and the company dispersed for their homes about 11:30 o'clock.
