houn was a bachelor, had no white rel
ative or person living with him, had
eight servants on the premises. The
Ordinary held that these facts did not
make Col. Calhoun the head of a fami
ly in the sense of the law and Consti
tution. Calhoun appealed from this
decision, and one day last week the
case came before Judge Bigby, who af
firmed the decision of the Ordinary.—

Splendid Jewelry. —Wo have had
occasion to notice many fine stocks
(as we thought) of jewelry w hich have
been offered for sale in Atlanta, but
never before have we had occasion to
notice oue that was equal t o that
which Messrs. Lawshe and Haynes
are now opening at their store on
Whitehall street Certainly this mar
ket can justify no heavier stcek than
this. To lock at it one would almost
imagine that the fabled treasures of
the east had disgorged themselves to
crowd the shelves and splendid show
cases in this establishment. The stock
includes more fine jewelry than we ev
er saw before. Mr. Lawshe lies but
recently returned from New York,
where lie selected his stock in person.
He selected the very latest stales, some
of which are real novelties. There
are coral sets in their sl.ow-c.ne-.
which skill can hardly surpass, while
among their precious stones are some
of rare beauty and worth, such as are
seen only once in a great while. Their
stock v f watches is immense, embrac
ing every kind up to the celebrated
Jules Jorgensen. Os clocks they have
an infinite variety, at prices which any
man can afford, and si Iso sit prices
which only the wealthiest eau afford.
They have a few of the very last, in
voice of French clocks, which were
shipped to this country when the war
broke out. Bui it is useless to endeav
or to enumerate their goods. It would
require a column, and then the story
would be but half told.
Mr Lawshe is a gentleman whose
face is more familiar, and who is bet
ter known, than any landmark in the
city. He was there many years be
fore the war, and did a leading busi
ness. He was among the first to re
turn after the war, and lms been
among the sturdiest in building up
the city and its trade. We are glad
to see his business prospering, for if
industry arc worth anything, he de
serves all they are worth.
