Sullivan county's rural residents, who have benefited by this service over the years can hardly imagine doing without their daily mail delivery and may well be interested in the fact that when the service was first suggested in Congress it was highly ridiculed even by President Grover Cleveland. The first bill was a failure but later another bill was introduced by Rep. Thomas E. Watson which became a law in 1893 and appropriated $10,000 for an experimental trial. Those in charge of postal affairs did not believe this sum sufficient for the experiment so it was not until October 1, 1896 that rural delivery actually,, originated under President Cleveland and Postmaster General William L. Wilson. Many of Sullivan's older residents can well remember when the mail Was brought to them by horse and buggy over hot dusty roadfein. summer and muddy, frozen or snowcovered routepjn the dead of winter.

With a feeling of despair, I read the article . . . BEAUTIFUL Cynthia Mamuta and I quickly formulated a plan to save our friend, Marcus Macer, from exile to the copper mines of Cyprus. "We must convince Caesar himself," I said, "that we need Marcus to write our scenes." Forty-eight hours later, we had our chance when we were ushered into the presence of Caesar Trajan and Commander Fascus. As I explained to Caesar how necessary Marcus would be to our theatrical work against the Christians in Antioch, I stole a glance at Fascus. His cold eyes, full of jealousy, were on Cynthia. Caesar, too, frowned. "Has either of you seen what he wrote?" We shook our heads and he handed me a paper. "Here, read it aloud." With a feeling of despair, I read the article.. It was a bitter criticism of Caesar for breaking the Peace of Rome
"By Hercules," Caesar swore, "a woman shows the "way."

established by Augustus ith his plans for war on the Parthians. "Oh, that fool," Cynthia exclaimed as I finished. Rut nevertheless, she continued to piead that Marcus be allowed to come along and write the scenes at which he was so talented. "After Roscius and Iare through with him," she said, "he could be sent to the mines." "By Hercules," Caesar swore, smiting his desk. "It has taken a woman to show us the way out." Fascus agreed reluctantly and only on condition that Marcus at Antioch be under the guard of Coior.el Covpelius, commander of the Citadel. The Emjperor rose and we did likewise. But instead of leaving the audience room, Caesar began to pace up and down it, speaking as he walked.
The Cmpsror bcan to pace ...
"I wish to impress upon you theatrical people the grave' importance of your theatrical mission to Antioch. I deplore the conflict with the Christians, but it seems inevitable . . And the way to handle them is through ridicule." He pa;:sd. "I shall order Marcus' t eiease but at the end of youiy mis. ion ha will be sent to the mines. Do you understand.
