Trolley Spur Big Success.
The trolley to Old Mystic is doing a
good business and confirming the iudg-
ment of those who were willing to
nelp build It. Horace O. Williams has
sold over a thousand dollars worth of
ticket books and besides his sales are
those of the Mystic stores that sell
the books and all the local fares paid
direct to the conductor. In its half
hourly service the management has
given Old Mystic more than it prom
Used, and in its patronage Old Mystic
has given the management more than
1t ever expected.
