An Ugly Ceiling.


Who has not at sometime lived in house
in which soma common room had very
ugly ceiling! Perhaps some OF Us may be
in just such place now. The plaster was
rough in the first place, or has been badly
cracked, or the water has come through a
bad roof and soaked it off in patches which
refuse to be mended in a creditable manner.
Altogether it is an uncompromisiny eye
sore. What shall we do with it that it may
not be so out of keeping with the room
which we are trying to make warm and
cozy for wintera 1t can not be made pre-
sentable by paint or kalsomining; what
next?
Cover it up. Let it serve merely as a
foundation for something pretty. A new
suggestion from people who are supposed. to
be artistic, is to lay off such ceiling into
suitable panels, and cover these panels with
plain basket checked burlap, tackled on very
smooth, and painted some light tint like
pale blue, pink, green, olive, brown or
cream. TIE lines where the pieces join are
then to be covered with inexpensive narrow
mouldingS, which must bs neatly fitted
at the corners. They may then be
gilded, il desired. A cheaper method
is to tack on small rope for this
purpose, with smooth, slender brads, and
then gid it carefully; but in the hands Of
any but professional decorators we fear it
could not be neatly done at the corners and
places where the pieces Of rope would join.
There is no reason why the burlay could
not be applied to the walls also, in similar
panels, and painted darker shade. Flat
walnut mouldings would be suitable for
walls 1t may be remarked, in conclusion,
that painted walls are among the best for
living rooms. Dull red, olive and light
chocolate are very pretty and suitable with
either painted or paper borders.

From the GAINESVILLE Enterprise Of yes

information of the damage wrought BY the

was made in the REGISTER OF Tuesday.
The storm was in the form Of

varied in width from q few yards
up to three hundred yards and appeared to
have the greatest force where the path was
narrowest 1t was first observed at the
home of John Gibson, about three smiles
northwest from Barnesville, and gradually
increased in violence until, at the farm OF
Josiah Jones, one and q half miles from
Hendrysburg, it commenced tearing up the
trees and fences. At the widow Hsmilton's
the barn was unroofed and other out build
ing destroyed. The next buildings struck
were those of Mrs. James Shepherd at the
west end Of Hendrysburg, where the stable
and corn crib were completely demolished.
The railroad track to the coal bank Of j. K.
Rosamond was
TORN Up AND CARRIED AWAY,
and a pile of lumber to the last board is
entirely gone. At the residence OF VIM.
Douglas, about quarter OF mile north OF
the town, the cyclone seemed to have
reached its heig ht. Here the barn was
taken up from the foundation and carried
bodily for about two hundred yards, when II
fell TO pieces and the fragments scattered
over the farm. The smoke house and other
buildings were entirely demolished. The
house, log building was partially out OF
the center OF the storm, but it was lifted
from It's foundation and the roof and chin
neys carried away. Across the road on the
farm of Allison Jones, an old tenant house
was unroofed, ard all the fences destroyed.
1t kept up its fury to the highest pitch over
this farm and those of George Hayes and
James Brown. At the latter place

boards down to the bottom being torn offand
carried away, the nails IN many instances
being pulled out of the posts. When the
storm crossed the Saltwater creek, huge
volume of water was taken up from the
creek and raised four or five hundred feet
into the air. To persons who witnessed it
from either side the air was black with dust
limbs of trees, boards and flying missiles
and the noise and roar was deafening.
