Ovid Floiiring-Mills.—The site of Ovids first grist-mill,built in 1859, by Park & Kellogg, is now occupied by acommodious three-story structure fitted with four run ofstones, and engaged largely in the manufacture of flour forshipment to Eastern markets. Schenck & Sowers, the pres-ent proprietors, have been in control of the property sinceMarch, 1878. Dunham & Kimball started a foundry in 1865, and thisbusiness is still pursued upon the same premises by Haight& Guio, who took possession in March, 1878.

Successively, A. B. Wood, J. W. Fitzgerald, andRich & llutherford became the proprietors. Rich soonwithdrew, and, after carrying it on alone for a brief time,Rutherford took in B. M. Pierson as a partner. Rutherfordretired soon after, and Pierson struggling to keep up theconcern alone, gave up the task after a six months experi-ence, when the property fell to Reeves & Carrier, Aug. 8,1873. To that time the paper had maintained a precariousand uncertain existence, but the new publishers introduceda vigorous life into it, and, as a result, conducted it withmuch success for upwards of six years. At the end of thattime Carrier & Carrier, the present publishers, succeededReeves & Carrier. From the start in 1866 llie Registerhas been an avowedly independent journal
