sell the same at public auction to the highest bidder at such place
and time as may be designated by the carrier, provided that the
carrier shall have published notice containing a general description

bundle, etc.) and the time and place of sale once a week for two
successive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation at the place
of sale or at the nearest place thereto. |
