A wayuesbaro Veteran Himself Again

The SPECTATOR man was surprised
and pleased to see the veteran Con
federate and merchant, J. b. Roden
of Waynesboro, walking around on
his crutches one day this week. When
he broke his hip joint last winter all
his friends were afraid he would not
walk again, "old folks bones are slow
to knit" they said, and the doctors en-
dorsed the opinion. But it turned out
that Veteran Roden was not so old
after all, and he stamped and yelled
like a boy at some Of Dr.. Scott's flights
of Confederate eloquence at the opera
house Monday. He is actually threat
enipg to attend the reunion at Nash
vile in June. and says if he can't
s'keep up with the procession he will
ride behind Capt. E. G. Fishburnt
when he parades at the head of the Sc
Virginia Brigade.
