THE ADVERTISING LAW.
Passed by the Legislature. Now
in Effect.
SOME THINGS THE Law REQUIRES
TO Be PUBLISHED.

At its recent session the Ken
tucky Legislature passed a State
Advertising law, which is now in
effect. 1t provides:
"In addition to the notices now
provided by law to be posted, all
public sales of any kind of prop
erty, when sold under execution,
Judgment or decree shall, unless
otherwise agreed upon by the par
ties to such execution, judgment
or decree, be advertised in some
newspaper published in the coun-
ty of such sale, if any newspaper
be therein published, at least once
week for three consecutive weeks
next preceding the day of sale.
Provided, that in the counties
whore there is a daily newspaper
published, or in general circula-
tion, publication of such notice of
sale for three consecutive days
next preceding the day of sale be
sufficient. The advertisement
shall state time, place andierms of
sale, and shall give description
of the property to be sold. ProNi-
ded, that the newspaper advertise
ment herein provided for shall not
be necessary where the appraised
value of the property to be sold is
lless than one hundred dollars, to
be ascertained by appraisement in
each case, as is now provided by
law.
Whenever any suit or action in
court involving the settlement of
any estate whatever is referred to
any commissioner or other officer,
to receive and report claims, or
for any other purpose, it shall be
the duty of such commissioner or
lother officer to advertise the time,
place and purpose of his sittings,
in the same manner as provided
for advertising sale of property by
Section First hereof.
"For all newspaper advertising
required by this act or any other
law, the publisher shall be entitled
to receive as full compensation for
such advertising at the rate of fif-
ty cents per linear inch, single col
umn, solid, eight point measure,
for each insertion, and in all ad-
vertisements in judicial proceed
ings the cost of advertisement
sh all be taxed as costs by the clerk
of the court. Provided, that the
rat es of advertising in daily news
papers shall not exceed one dollar
per lin cal inch per insertion"
