ing same to be as follows: for advertising the list of delinquent tax-
payers, twenty-five cents for each name in each paper that they shall

linquent in each paper in which they shall be advertised; and the
advertisement of sale shall contain the name of the person, persons,
or corporations assessed, the property upon which the taxes are due
and in arrear, with a brief description of the property, its general

five nor more than thirty days from the date of the first advertise-
ment, together with the accrued interest thereon and proportionate
cost of advertising fees, the treasurer shall proceed at 10 o'clock

published in not less than four weekly insertions in each of the
newspapers hereinbefore referred to, and on the said day, at the
time named, the treasurer shall proceed to sell any and all such
parcels of land, premises and personal property on which taxes,
interest, costs and fees shall not have been paid, and to continue
said sale each day (legal holidays excepted), from 10 o'clock A. M.

serted therein. The County Treasurer shall not be allowed any ex-
penditures for attorney's fees, but it shall be the duty of the at-

ices of an attorney for him as treasurer, and no compensation shall
be charged, allowed or paid to any paper other than is designated

however, that all advertising to be done under this Act shall be in-
serted in [two] not more than three newspapers [printed!) published
in Charles County, [bona fide representing]! tivo of which represent
