For Railway Passengers Guidance.

— —♦ THE LOCAL TIME TABLE. .Searching through a railwaytimetable 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 potch o* figures concerning the branch line of Toko, track at Waggonville, or the cto->8 line to Nevermai'cli. The parti-, cular figures likely to be of benefit " to dwellers between Paekakariki and Palmerston North are what readers of The Horowhenua Ch.ronicl" need most, and for our readers' convenience those frf-tve are now appended:—

Some of tiie 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 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 their towns, and may then work out, #rom the above figures, the time which the train will take to travel from the itation immediately preceding.
