Homerville Ga, April 13.-The April
term Of the superior court was opened
this morning in the handsome new court
house, which the people of the county
have pushed to completion in the last
sixty days. The judges's stand was deo-
GRATED with a long wreath of roses and

is probably the largest in the state for

could not be present to-day to speak, as
was promised. The fact that Mr. Burch
sent MS letter or explanation TO the lead
ing populist OF the county and the ad-
ditional fact that the speaking was to

to indicate that Mr.. Buroh has learned
that the free silverites in this section
are all popuists. The democrats here,
however, having failed to learn anything
from MIR. Crisp's speeches. were entirely
willing to listen patiently at the new
Richmond who has entered the field.
Another thing has caused some talk is
the fact that Mr.. Burch does not meet

enough to intimate that he did not care
for everybody TO know when to expect
him, as he might run upon some one
