AGATHA'S Thoughts at the Water Cooler
For a good many years Garrison Bight has sat on the edge of the island minding its own business in unruffled calm with nobody paying any attention to it. Now suddenly a great flurry has arisen among our public spirited citizens who are trampling each other into the ground in their haste to get their feet wet in it. Why a Stock Islander named Wylk probably has more public spirits than any of them. Wylk has done much to promote spirits among the public by the shot or bottle. Wylk like Rose Rabin has been the target of some unfavorable talk lately it seems.
