The Covington Star, March 4, 1885
Local and Star-light Items.
     Mr. David Long, of Jasper, who died recently at his home in that county, 
was an honest man. He was a native of North Carolina, and it is related of him 
that he once walked all the way back to that state, from Jasper county, to pay 
some small debts he had left behind. Now that he is dead, is there any man 
living who would do that today? We rather think there are probably about 
1,500,000,000 of people in the world who would go as far the other way to keep 
from paying their debts as there are to one who would have taken the long and 
lonesome journey to the old North State. Verily, an honest man is the noblest 
work of creation, and Mr. David Long deserves a monument.
