For Railway Passengers Guidance.

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 desired on a given occasion, net a hotchpotch of figures concerniiig _ the branch line of Toko, the side" track at Waggonville, or the cross line to Nevermarch. The particular figures likely to be of benefit to dwellers between Paekakariki and Palmerston North are what readers of The Horowhenua Chronicle need most, and for our readers' convenience those fi?"~ive are now appended : —

Some of the above trains will stop at intermediate stations, such as Tokomaru, Ohau, Manakau, Te Horo, etc.; but there '.re pome which do not. Residents should acquaint- themselves with the trains which do stop at their particular stations.

. As previously mentioned, there several wayside stations at which one or more of the above trains will stop whenever passen* gers desire to be set down or taken ujj Local residents may ascertain which are the trains which cater for their towns, and may then work out, from the abora figures, the time which the train ° will, take to travel' from the station immediately preceding.
