For Railway Passengers Guidance.

THE LOCAIi TIME TADLE. Searching through a railway timetacle 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 hotchpotch of figures concerning 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 figure# are now appended:—

Some of the above trains will atop at intermediate stations, Buoh as Tokomaru, Ohj&a, Manak&a, l'e Horo, etc.; but there are some which do not. Residents should acquaint themselves svijih the trains which do stop at their particular stations.

As previously mentioned, thero 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, from the above figures, the time which the train will take to travel from the station immediately preceding. The Auckland express reaches Pahnersfrm, from the North, at 12.40 p.m. and arrives at Thorndon at 4.7 p.m. The Auckland oxpress leaves Thorndon at 12.15 p.m. and reaches Palmeraton at 8.85 p.m.
