For Railway Passengers Guidance.

THE LOCAL TIME TABLE

Sarching through a railway timetable makes most people irritable. The railway table, like tk| ; polony, contains many gooti"* things, but the public prefer to have the one particular food (whether mental or alimentary) desired on a given occasion, not a botch potch ox figures concerning the branch line of Toko, the aide track at Waggonville, or the cross line to Nevcrmarch. The particular figures likely to be of benefit to dwellers between Paekakarik) and Palmorston Xorth are what readers of The Horowhenua Chronicle need most, and for our readers' convenience those are now appended :—

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

As previously mentioned, there are several wayside stations at which one or more, of the above trains will stop whenever passengers desire to be set down or taken up Local residents may ascertain which are the trains which cater for thei/ towns, and may then work out, £rom the above figures, the time which the train will take to travel from the station immediately preceding.
