Southwestern Historical Quarterly
ican Association for State and Local History in 1951 conferred
on the Paris News an Award of Merit "for a continuing intelli-
gent interest in local history through its various news columns
and particularly for maintaining for more than twenty years a
daily column . . . which has done much to increase popular
interest in the history of the locality."
On November 2o, 1952, presentation of this award was made
to Mayse and Neville by Dr. S. K. Stevens, past president and
currently an officer of the American Association for State and
Local History, at the annual convention of the Southern News-
paper Publishers Association in White Sulphur Springs, West
Virginia.
Commenting editorially on the presentation, the Dallas News
of November 17, 1952, wrote:
Incidents that seem trivial when they happen are sometimes sought
after as important data by historians. Our history books would be
much more interesting, as well as accurate, if more local history had
been set down on paper before memories faded. Those who are work-
ing to preserve local history are performing a service for which later
generations will rise to bless them. . Mr. Neville has been a valu-
able historian of a section of the Red River Valley. Texas could use
many more such recorders of community and regional history.
