A town-plan, it seems, was binding on the first builders of the 'colonia'. It lost its power within a very few years. It remains to note another example of town-planning in a Roman municipality of the western Empire, which is as important as it is abnormal.
A smart flag, with the words "Citizens, the country is in danger," was prepared; the judges and the municipality were in their costume, the troops and Garde Nationale under arms, and an orator, surrounded by his cortege, harangued in the principal parts of the town on the text of the banner which waved before him.
He is one of our best type of business men, and the candidate that the new reform element, in which your husband is playing an honorable part, is hoping to set up for mayor.

My name, monsieur, is Cathelineau; my business, so far, has been that of a hawker.
