If he deem it proper, the presiding judge of the circuit court may postpone the opening of a term for a reasonable time to a day certain. If no order of postponement be made and the presiding judge does not appear at the time for the opening of the term, the clerk of courts may adjourn court from day to day until the arrival of the judge or an order of postponement or adjournment is received.
