Sec. 34.
If, by reason of war, rebellion, mob, pestilence or other
public calamity, it is unsafe or inexpedient to hold a court at the time
and place appointed by law, the judge or judges of the court may appoint
another time and place for the holding of the court.
The place appointed shall be at the nearest convenient place to that at
which the court is appointed by law to be held. If the court appoints
another time and place, the clerk of the court shall give at least 20
days' notice thereof, by publication in some newspaper published in the
county, or if none is published in the county, then in a newspaper
published nearest to the place of holding court and by posting a notice in
his office and in 4 other of the most public places in the
county. The clerk shall also notify the sheriff of the county and the
state's attorney of such appointment, 20 days before
court is held at the place appointed by the court.
