An application for a charter for the Kingston and Cleveland Railroad Company was filed with the Secretary of State, Friday last. It contemplates the building of a railroad from a suitable point on the Tennessee River, somewhere between the mouth of Riley’s Creek and Stamp Creek, in Roane County, leaving the river opposite the lower end of Round Island, then up the valley on the east side of the Riley’s Creek ridge to Cleveland, in the county of Bradley. The incorporators are H. Crumbliss, Hugh Martin, J. H. Wright, Amos Marney and S. M. Wilson.
