It was, also, human that they should aaaemble in gatherings and in public manner, celebrate their achieve ments with feasting and rejoicings Nature had supplieil them with an abundance of wild turkeys from which to prepare the feast and from that day to this, a Thanksgiving table has been hardlv complete with out roast turkev as the central dish. sire such roads ami in evidence of thia fact, nearly every road district levies special tax«*«, year after y«*ar to accomplish this purpose.
