The Narrow Gauge Railroad from Knox
VILE to ScyierVilie.

1 noticed several days ago, in looking
over one of Colton's new maps of Tennes-
see, that railroad was laid down as
projected from Knoxville to Sevierville.
Since then | have asked number of per-
sons what has become of this enterprise,
and undoubtedly the same question has
been asked by the people along the pro-
posed line. No one seems to know any
thing about it and can not tell whether n
charter is in existence.
am sure that a Marrow Gauge Railroad
could be built for small amount of money
into Sewer county, and be quite remuner-
ative to the people along the route and add
considerable to the business interests of
Knoxville.
Before the year 1878 closes we will have
bridge completed across the Holston
River at Knoxville, and a railroad run
ming up the country would add greatly to
the tolls of this bridge. The distance from
Knoxville to Seviervlle is twenty-five
miles, and the country along the route a
railroad would naturally find its way is
rich in agricultural productions, and ii the
farmers had way to carry their produc-
tions to market this would be largely in
creased.
