The first inkling Of the sensational
report came Yesterday when Senator
Judd moved that the senate convene
at 9 O'Clock so that financial report
prepared by the "hold-over commit

il would reveal many important and
unusual conditions.
Several of the senators were to be
seen this morning before the conven.
ing of the body in earnest discussion.
But Ii was not until after the routine
business of the day had been disposed
OF that the sDecific nature of the re-
port became known.
Chairman Judd rose from his seat
when President Knusden called for re-
ports from committees. With hardly
a word of introduction he submitted
the report, asking that it ne read by

II was not until the middle of the
report had been reached that the sen.
ators fully realized the enormity of
the shortage. Every senator sat in.

"On 10 CHATTANOOGA"

The Sentinel would call the attention
of the Confederate veterans in this vi
cinity to their reunion to be held at
Chattanooga May 27-29. While these
gallant sons are rapidly receding in
numbers, they are not decreasing in
the love and veneration of the IONS and
daughters who bless them for the her
itago'which they enjoy.
The railroads are offering very low
rates from all points. From Grenada
the Illinois Central will sell round trip
tickets at the exceedingly low price of
81 rs. Think of it. History readers
and these battle-scarred veterans know
that some of the most stirring and
bloody scenes of the war were enacted
on Tennessee soil, and there will be
thousands, no doubt, who will wend
their way to Chattanooga thrilled anew
with echoes of the bugle call and the
din of battle.
