The spirit of "Little Annie,"
as she was lovingly called by
many, left its tenement of clay
at 5 a. m. Wednesday, Febru-

Annie was the only child of
Mr. and Mrs. Win. Warrick and
for 31 years had been the sun-
shine of their lives. Her body
was always frail but her spirit
wah bouyant and uplifting. She
vas deeply religious and earn-

The world was good and beau-

knew no bounds.
One of her chief pleasures
was to see how many people she
could remember at Christmas
time in her Saviour's name.!
Another was the friendship
with the "cousins" of the Farm i
& Ranch.
