Thanks. That sounds good.

I just got the fax from the news journal. Can I run this thing now, or should I wait until I get all my other stuff completed and then run it? I just dont want there to be a problem if I run the ad now and then dont file the paper work until late Feb or March. Anyone have experience or ideas on this?

"The Prothonotary of the county in which any applicant for a license files the same shall cause notice of every such application to be published once, at least 10 days before the next term of the Superior Court. The publication shall be made in a newspaper of general circulation published in the county. In making such publication it shall be sufficient for the Prothonotary to do the same as a list in alphabetical form stating therein simply the name and residence of each applicant respectively."

I'd say you can probably do it now -- check the instructions on the courts website, they may even ask that it run a short while before you apply, to give folks a chance to read it and offer any evidence against your case.

cool. I have a set of instructions that says:
"Arrange with a newspaper of general circulation in your County to have your application published once, at least (10) days before the filing of your application with the Court. Obtain an affidavit from the newspaper company stating that this requirement has been met, and attach it to your application. PLEASE NOTE: Newspaper of selection must have a circulation of at least 35% of the population in your zip code. Be sure to use your whole name - no initials - and your home address."

So as I read it to mean that as long as its 10 days before you apply, you are in the clear and ok.

As much as I wanted to electronically do it, I hand wrote it, as the statute makes reference to some of the items being in the 'person own writing'. My handwriting is attrocious. ;/
