...grave of General Smith D. Atkins, for nearly half a century editor of the Freeport, Ill. Journal, was an imposing stone upon which the first forms composed by the General as an apprentice printer were imposed. At the request of the Editor and Publisher, I furnished a photograph of this head stone, showing the inscription, which was published in that magazine.

...other picture on the bill is "Stampede" which happens to be an interesting photograph of jungle life. The picture is silent, although a weak musical score has been added.
