The officer who levies upon property, or who is charged with the duty of selling the same by virtue of any writ of execution, may refuse to publish a notice of the sale thereof by advertisement in a newspaper until the party for whose benefit such execution is issued, his agent or attorney, shall advance to such officer so much money as will be sufficient to discharge the fees of the printer for publishing such notice. Before any officer shall be excused from publishing the notice as aforesaid, he must demand of the party for whose benefit the execution was issued, his agent or attorney, provided either of them reside in the county, the amount of money for such fees.
