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 paiiiuiar food (whether mental cr. ;; U.!.nc-ntary) desired on a given oc-r-ag-'■■,■:■, not a hotchpotch of figured ccucerning the branch line of Toko, £be aide track at Waggonville, 01 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 are now appended:—

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

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