One of the many old country stores located in Warren County, NC. This one is located in Arcola. An outstanding feature of G W Davis Grocery Store is the Coca-Cola "ghost sign" painted on the side of the building. These murals are known as "ghost signs" by enthusiasts because of the fading that has taken place over time. Many artists across the country are using their skills to restore these "ghost signs" to their former glory.

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground and landed in a large field While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on it.  As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was.  The dung was actually thawing him out!  He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.  Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him! The morals of this story: 1)  Not everyone who drops crap on you is your enemy. 2)  Not everyone who gets you out of crap is your friend. 3)  And when you're in deep crap, keep your mouth shut.
