charge on the same for any other or different sum or sums of
money than the sum or sums that shall appear to be due on the
face of the deed or instrument conveying the same, and be
therein, together with the time or times set for the payment
thereof, specified and recited; provided, however, nothing here-

any way affect or postpone the lien of any landlord upon goods
or chattels for the satisfaction or security of rent due or ac-

be inserted a clause authorizing the vendor, his personal repre-
sentatives or assigns, or any other person to be named therein,
to sell the property or estate upon such terms and on such con-
tingencies as may be expressed therein; and where interests in
any lien so retained are held under one or more assignments or
otherwise, the power of sale shall be held divisible, and he or
they holding any such interest who shall first institute proceed-
ings to execute such power shall thereby acquire the exclusive
right to sell such property or estate.
