HUNTLEY FARMSIDE ONE YEAR OLD
The Huntley Farmside is one year old this week. One year ago Mr. Quin O'Brien, with the help of his wife (formerly Miss Suzanne LeGrand of Harvard, III.) started this business in the building which houses the Enos Conley and Sons Fertilizer plant. Through the help of the Conleys and other merchants and subscribers of Huntley, The Huntley Farmside has weathered its first year, thought by many to be the hardest.
Now, according to chapter 100, Section 1 and 5 of the Illinois Post¬ al Statutes, the Huntley Farmside is a completely legal newspaper en¬ titled to all the privileges and rights of such newspapers.
To celebrate our first annivers¬ arj-. The Hunlley Farmside will serv'e free rolls and coffee from 10 a.m. till 5 p.m. Saturday, April 8, in the Huntley Farmside office. Ever>one is invited to come.

No Water £or West End Thar.
Last Thursday the Northern Illi¬ nois Gas Company, while putting in a new gas main crossing Route 47 struck the Huntley water main leading to Union Special. From 4 o'clock until 2 a.m. the gas com¬ pany and village officials worked to repair this line. Between these hours the west side of town was without water. The village board, however, supplied three tank trucks from Deans Milk Company to supply the residents in this area with water.
The trucks were placed strateg¬ ically throughout the section to supply residents with needed wa¬ ter. One was placed on Lincoln Avenue, another on Bonnie Brae and the third on Main and Route 47 at George's D-X gas station. The Northern Illinois Gas Corn- pay was installing this new gas main to increase the capacity of gas to Huntley and as a safety check for the Union Special Ma¬ chine Company.
