D. C. Sutton placed display ads under "County Directory: Professional Cards," advertising his services as Attorney at Law in Summerville, Chattooga, Georgia, at his permanent address. The ads ran for over a month. Ironically, at the same time, he was accused of bigamy. In 1878, Cobb County, Georgia, prosecuted him on the bigamy charge. He was found guilty and spent the next two years in prison in Cedartown, Polk County, Georgia.
Here is a reference to one of the display ads:
