Mo. Rev. Stat. § 271.140: Proof entered on docket, certification.

The associate circuit judge shall enter such proof on his docket, and, within ten days thereafter, certify to the county clerk that such proof has been made; but if the appraised value, at the time of the posting, be less than seven dollars, it shall not be necessary for the associate circuit judge to forward such certificate to the clerk, but the proof shall, nevertheless, be entered on his docket.
