WILL RETAIN PRESENT SITE.
Mccall Stock Farm 70 Remain on
Evan Hall Plantation.

The pleasing information that
Evan J. Mccall has made arrange
ments with the Hibernia Bank and
Trust Company of New Orleans to
continue the operation Of his modern
stock farm on the Evan Hall planta-
ton in this parish has been received
with sincere qualification by every
citizen OF the community. The Evan
Hall property was recently bought by
the Hibernia Bank at sheriff's sale.
and apprehension was felt that per-
haps the change of ownership might
result in Mr.. McCall's being COMPEL
ed to seek another location for his
magnificent farm, which has come to
be known as one Of the finest and
best-equipped in the entire south.
That this undesirable possibility has
been averted is matter for general
congratulation, and hope is enter
tanned that the agreement entered in
to between Mr.. Mccall and the
Hibernia Bank will be OF permanent
character.
There can be no doubt that sub
stantial benefit, will inure to the
owners Of the plantation through the
occupancy of a part Of the property
by the Mccall farm, since the latter
enterprise in active operation is
worth, as an object lesson to intend
ing settlers, more than train load
of literature or an indefinite amount
of verbal argument.
The marked distinction and sue
cess which Mr.. Mccall has achieved in
the swine-breeding industry is due in
large measure to his untiring labor
and answering determination, sup
plemented by a spirit of progressive
ness that reckoned no cost too large
when the best results were to be OBJ
tanned, or deemed no obstacle too
great to be surmounted. It is but.
fair and just, therefore, that he
should have been given an opportu-
nifty to continue the successful and
profitable conduct of his stock breed
ing enterprise ON the site where the
venture was originally started, and
the feeling is general that the new
owners of the property have done the
right thing in recognizing Mr.. Nc
Calls arninently proper claim in this
regard.
Mr.. Mccall will continue to oe-
cupy the ancestral Mccall home,
which has been in the possession Of
the family for approximately 127
years and is recognized as one Of the
most beautiful Of the far-famed plan
tation dwellings of Louisiana.
Attractive offers to locate his stock
farm in the vicinity Of Lake Charles
and Bogalusa were received by Mr..
Mccall from leading landowners and
citizens Of those localities, and care
full consideration was given by the
peerless young breeder to the desir
able sites offered. He is deeply APP
preeiative Of the courtesy and con-
sideration shown him by the citizens
of these progressive towns.
Mr.. Mccall has also negotiated
with the Hibernia Bank for the lease
Of the store on Evan Hall plantation,
and will conduct the establishment
for his own account. The firm of
Tearney & Mccall, which has operat-
ed the store heretofore, has been dis
solved by the withdrawal of Mr..
1earney, who, however, will continue
to manage the business in Mr.. Nc
Calls behalf
