CHARLEY ATKINS. One of the neatest and best country stores in Grant County
is the store of Charlie Atkins at Sherman, in this county. Desirably located
in a splendid good building built for the purpose, stocked with seasonable
goods bought at a fair price and presided over by as clever a gentleman as
there is in Grant County, makes it a mecca toward which most of the people
in the neighborhood of Sherman turn their steps when they want to buy anything in his line. Mr. Atkins is one of the youngest merchants in the county. He is a son of James Atkins and Matilda (Booth) Atkins, and was born in Covington, Kentucky on the 5th day of May, 1868. His father moved to Grant County and young Atkins came with him, and here he went to school and obtained a fairly good business education. In 1899 he decided to go into the mercantile business and located at Sherman. He built the commodious store room in which he does business, and has fitted himself up to do the business in his vicinity, and has, perhaps, the largest country trade of any purely country store in the country. His honest methods and fair dealing have won for him a great many customers. March 16, 1898, he was united in marriage to Miss Addie Blackburn, a daughter
of the late R. J. Blackburn, and to them one child has been born. Mr. Atkins
and his good wife are members of the Baptist Church at Mount Zion, and are a
very lovable couple. In politics Mr. Atkins is a Republican.
