The Wal lace board of trade backs buying at home as tariff protection in practice, urging American made goods over foreign products. The piece contrasts local protection with national trade policy, cites Georgia sentiment shifts, and recalls Henry W. Grady’s call to develop home enterprise.
The reminiscence lists goods from multiple states tied to Henry W. Grady and Georgia. Coffin from Cincinnati, nails from Pittsburgh, wagon from Indiana, shovel handle from New York, attire from Cincinnati and Chicago, shoes from Beaton New York, gloves from New York, and a Philadelphia cravat.

The text notes high income taxes and tax-exempt securities totaling about 30 billion. Secretary Mellon suggests reducing the surtax from 50 to 25 percent to encourage capital investment and boost revenue, arguing current rates hamper taxable income and investment in productive enterprise. The progressive bloc favors restoring the excess profits tax, which would deter investment and not help government revenue.
The letter notes W. J. Hall of Shoshone county as a standout choice for head of the department of public works under Governor Moore.

The federal government contemplates a 180000 mile highway network at 3 billion dollars. A national conference on highway engineering is cited as drafting the plan, with 15 to 20 years needed. The project aims to connect coast to coast with through routes and feeder highways, boosting rural access and supplementing rail transport.
The article contrasts tenant farming in Norway with the United States where about 40 percent of farms are absentee owned. It argues farmers are controlled by outsiders and cites a Chicago Board of Trade roundup of 14 professors asserting farmers need steel magnates to do business, implying exploitation.
A nostalgic verse recalling Christmas joys through memory. The speaker reflects on aging, seasons, and returning to childhood scenes such as the old schoolhouse, swimmin hole, nut trees, and berry thickets, finding renewal in memories of youth during the Christmas season. The poem evokes family, friends, and familiar places as a timeless solace.
