Asherton & Gulf railroad sale unclear as talks proceed
Asherton Richardson, president of the Asherton & Gulf, says no definite offer has been made though several interests have shown buying interest. Richardson arrived in town and did not deny the road is for sale. He cited good prospects for a bumper onion crop and expects at least 700 cars harvested along the line. Nearby notices list humane society contacts, medical moves, events at Exposition Park, a Carter visit to San Marcos, a Y. M. C. A. dance, and Chamber relief efforts for destitute families.
