Mr. Jas. Bartlett, a resident and a prominent citizen and mill owner of
Attica, Wis., who has been spending a few months at the old home among
friends in England, called upon us on Tuesday morning last, but eleven days
from across the big waters, on his way home in Attica. We have often heard
the mention of Mr. Bartlett in connection with the milling business of
Attica, but have never met the gentleman until now.

He has been a resident of Wisconsin for nearly thirty years, and much of
that time has been actively employed in building up the handsome property
he is now the sole possessor of: viz, the milling business of Attica, which
in its business capacity and reputation stands prominent among such
enterprises of our state.

He purchases his wheat where the best article is found, and ships mainly
from Evansville, after plentifully supplying the home demand.

Not having visited his native country for nearly twenty-six years he set
out on the 7th of July last to make his aged parents and the companions of
his early youth a visit, which he accomplished to the mutual pleasure of
all. Just as he was about to return his father took sick and passed away,
thereby adding deeper sorrow to his second exit from the parent roof.

During Mr. Bartlett's absence his mill has been carried on and his entire
business conducted soley by his son, a young man not yet eighteen years
old, but possesses all the sagacity and business tact of maturer years.

Mr. Bartlett was so highly gratified upon his return to find every business
detail about his establishment so carefully accounted for, that he
immediately presented his boy with a fine span of colts.

Mr. Bartlett is not only a voluntary patron of the Review, but our thanks
are due him for a nice list of subscribers from across the ocean.
