Lands and tenements, taken in execution, shall not be sold, until the officer cause public notice of the time and place of sale to be given, for at least thirty days before the day of sale, by advertisement, in some newspaper printed in the county, or, in case no newspaper be printed in the county, in some newspaper in general circulation therein, and by putting up an advertisement upon the court house door, and in five other public places in the county, two of which shall be in the precinct where such lands and tenements lie.
