Show 1.1)E DAVIS FROM FIGHTING FAMILY When Captain Ball recommended Dade Byron Davis for admission to the second officers' training camp, he drew a fighter. That is to say, he drew a man from a family of fighters. And Dade has every appearance of being able to uphold the family name though he is not so large as he is wiry. The News gained the information in-formation from a reliable source unknown un-known to Dade that he is the great-great great-great grandson of General Dade who was a member of General George Washington's staff ind who won fame as a fighter in Colonial times. Young Davis' great-grandfather was Major Dade who fought in the war of 1812. Then to continue the fighting fight-ing pedigree, young Davis' father is a near relative of the late Jefferson Davis, who aspired to become "the president of a new republic but was fortunately "convinced" that there wasn't room. But at that, Jeff. Davis was some scrapper himself. Dade Davis is a native of Tennessee and has a snappy black eye that means trouble for trouble-makers, but he is a courteous, genial fellow, very likeable, and who will be heard from as sure as he ever gets an opportunity op-portunity to demonstrate his ability to do things. |
