OBJECTIONABLE POST CARDS.
The Dannevirke Advocate complains that post cards are now being put upon the market which can scarcely escape the epithet of indecent. These cards are on sale in shops, and are alleged to be brought under notice of passengers in the railway trains. " This," says our contemporary, " marks the degeneration of the post card, and if it is pursued to much greater extremes, it will assuredly bring about a re-action, unless the epech of this popular institution will come to an ignominious end. It may be argued that this thing has not gone far enough to war rant interference, but we will venture the opinion that it has come dangerously close to it in several instances, for we have seen cards for which there could be no possible justification."
