In all cases where no designation shall have been made or provided for by general rule or order of court, the plaintiff in the action, or party procuring the rule or order, or his attorney of record, may endorse upon his praecipe, petition or motion the additional newspaper or newspapers in which he desires the notice or advertisement to be inserted; whereupon, a special order designating the newspaper or newspapers named shall issue as of course; provided that unless cause be shown, only newspapers of general circulation within the county and meeting the requirements of law shall be so designated. The defendant or other party to the proceeding adversely affected, or other creditors, may apply to the Court, or a judge in vacation, to change the additional newspaper or newspapers so selected for publication upon cause shown. The designation of such additional newspaper or newspapers made by the parties may be disregarded and the order changed by the Court, or a judge in vacation, upon application, or of its own motion.
