When a writ, warrant, or execution is delivered to any officer he must endorse thereon the day and hour when he receives it. He must proceed to execute the same with diligence. If executed, an exact description of the property seized with the date of levy, sale, or other act done by virtue thereof, must be endorsed upon or appended to the execution. If the writ was not executed, or executed in part only, the reason therefor must be stated in the return. The failure or neglect of the officer to make his return thereon as required by law shall not void his proceedings.
