MS HR122

Commends Arthur "Mr. D" Davis for his contributions as a Mississippi ambassador and his establishment of the Old Country Store restaurant in Lorman, Mississippi.

Recognizes Davis's transformation of a historic two-story building (constructed circa 1875) into a Southern cuisine restaurant that has attracted visitors from across the United States and internationally.

Notes the restaurant's acclaim, including a 2011 Food Network feature by Alton Brown praising Davis's fried chicken, and its role serving the local Alcorn State University community.

Acknowledges Davis's community service, including sheltering 28 Hurricane Katrina evacuees in 2005 and supporting the local economy through his business investment.

Directs the House to furnish copies of the resolution to Arthur Davis and the Capitol Press Corps.
