There are fou: newspapers pub- lished at the pmsent time. Two, the Island Farmer and the Pioneer are publislftid by the Pioneer Publish- ing Company and the other two, the Agriculturist and Journal by the Journal Publishing Company.

Mr. Louis Taylor has been with the paper from his boyhood and some years ago became the man- ager.

It has had many editors. among the most prominent were B. D. i-ﬂggs ,later managing editor of the Guardian, Mr. John Mollison, a resident of “ side. who ls the author oi a widely discussed book "What is Man?" D. K. Currie now associate editor oi’ the Guardi- an and the late John Pond. a na- tive oi Surrey, England, who came out from London, on three separate occasions to edit the paper.

The present editor is W. D. Mne-

Neill, for many years associated with the Halifax papers. The Island Farmer was published somh time after the Pioneer as an agricultural issue for the farmers oi Prince County.

Note-In preparing this Jubilee issue the Guardian corncspondent at Summerside has tried to get the facts or Summersldes early history o; the town as correctly as possible but as there are not many records it has been a difficult task.

The legal fraternity at Summer- side‘ can boast many prominent statesmen in clays gone by and als at the present time. And many have been given positions oi honor- on the Bench and in Parliament.
