FENTON TOPICS.
Fenton, La, July 7. 1920.

Mr.. Alebia Guillor very sick at his
home west of Fenton. 1t will be re-
membered that several months ago
Mr.. Guillory underwent an operation
for cancer, in which one of his eyes
was taken out He thought for long
time that he had gotten rid of the
terrible disease and was apparently
doing fine when he was again attacked
in the stomach and it now appears
that the stricken man is beyond the
help of medical treatment Some time
ago he went to New Orleans to obtain
treatment from the great healer, but
not being able to reach Brother lsa-
iah" he returned home and has since
gradually been getting worse. He has
not been able to return to New Orleans
to try and get relief from the healer.
1t appears that Mr.. Guillorys faith in
the healer was very great and we are
sorry that he could not get in touch
with. him which no doubt would have
resulted in cure.
Dredging work in the Fenton Drain
age District has been completed and
we are informed that the dredge is
being torn down for transportation to
some other district.
Mr.. Fab Reed of our neighborhood
is today moving to FentOn. Mr.. Reed
informs us that the has accepted a
position with Mr.. Chas Lantz as pump

lose Mr.. Reed from our neighborhood
we hope Fenton will gladly receive
him.
Mr.. A. V. Peloquin has recently com
pleted another cottage on his farm
which will be occupied by his son,
Octave PeloQuin, and family.
We were visited last Saturday with
very big rain which practically COM
pIeted the rice flooding for few days.
Up to this writing the exhaust of no
pumping plant has been heard, and
the weather Is promising of more rain
