Sec. 14.04.

Notice of the hearing on the petition shall be given by
publishing the notice in a newspaper of general circulation published in
the county in which the districts are situated. The notice shall be
published once each week for two successive weeks. The first publication of
the notice shall be at least three weeks prior to the date fixed for
hearing. When the districts are situated in two or more counties, then such
notice shall be given as aforesaid by publishing the same in a newspaper of
general circulation published in each of said counties. If no newspaper of
general circulation is published in any such county, then publication of
the notice shall be in a newspaper having general circulation in that
county.

The certificate of the clerk of the court affixed to a copy of the
notice shall be sufficient evidence of the mailing of the notices to the
said trustees.
