For Railway Passengers Guidance.

I _-4 J THE LOCAL TIME TABLE. Sarching through a, railway timetable makes most people irritable. The railway table, like the polony, contains many good things, but the public prefer to have the one particular food (whether mental or alimentary) desired on a given occasion, not a * hoteh poteh of figures concerning the branch line of Toko, the side track at Waggonvillc, or the cross " hue to ?veverniarch. The particular figures likely to be of benefit; k> dwellers between Paekakariki and Palmcrston Xorth are what renders of The Horowhenua Uhronicle need mosf, and for our readers' convenience those figures are now appended:—

As previously mentioned, there are_ several wayside stations ut m which one or more of the above trains will stop whenever passengers desire to be set taken , up. Local residents may ascer- f tain which are the trains which ciiiur for their towns, and may then work out, from the abowj figures, the time which the train will take to travel from the station immediately preceding. The Auckland express reaches Palmerston from the North, at 12.40 p.m., and arrives at Thornclou at 4.7 p.m. The Auckland express leaves Thorndon at 12.15 p.m. and reaches Palmerston at 3.35 p.m. The extra Auckland express commenced Ist October.
