Every owner of land, any portion of which lies in any militia district even if the remainder lies in an adjoining district or an adjoining county, who desires the lines around his entire tract to be resurveyed and re-marked shall apply to the processioners of the district to appoint a day when a majority of them, along with the county surveyor, will trace and mark the lines. Ten days' written notice of the time of the running and marking shall be given to all the owners of adjoining lands if they are residents of this state; and the processioners shall not proceed to run and mark the lines until satisfactory evidence of the service of the notice is presented to them.
