&lt;strong&gt;The Mite Society will give a Birthday Party, Thursday evening, Sept. 15th, 1910, in the Nantmeal M. E. Church, Rev. J. S Tomlinson, pastor.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This birthday party&lt;br /&gt;
     Is given to you;&lt;br /&gt;
We hope you will come,&lt;br /&gt;
     And propose if you do,&lt;br /&gt;
An agreeable time.&lt;br /&gt;
     Some good things to eat&lt;br /&gt;
And besides many others&lt;br /&gt;
     A musical treat.&lt;br /&gt;
As we could not secure&lt;br /&gt;
     The number of candles&lt;br /&gt;
To let your light shine,&lt;br /&gt;
     We send this fandangle;&lt;br /&gt;
Put safely within it&lt;br /&gt;
     As many round pennies&lt;br /&gt;
As years you are old.&lt;br /&gt;
     Your light will be bright.&lt;br /&gt;
If you send it or bring it.&lt;br /&gt;
     While we will keep dark,&lt;br /&gt;
If you wish, what's within it.&lt;br /&gt;
     The Mite Society&lt;br /&gt;
With greetings most hearty,&lt;br /&gt;
     Feel sure you will come&lt;br /&gt;
To your own birthday party.&lt;br /&gt;
