If the appraisement exceed twenty dollars, he shall publish the advertisement three weeks in the nearest newspaper; and if the appraisement be less than twenty dollars, such advertisement shall be put up in three public places in the county, one of which shall be at the courthouse door. He shall also make out a correct list of all estrays in his county, and put up the same at the door of the courthouse on the first day of each regular January and July meeting of the board of supervisors, stating therein such as have been proved away or sold, or have escaped or died.
