Rensselaer Republican, Volume 18, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 October 1885 — Made the Dividend. [ARTICLE]

Made the Dividend.

The only stockholder that fever got a dividend Out cf the old Farmington (Conn.) Canal has just died. The President told him that there was no dividend, and no prospect of any dividend, and jestingly advised him to go home and mow the tow-path for a dividend. Mr. Munson did so, taking a 20 per cent, divided in hay from the eight miles of tow-path, and went on doing this with perfect complacency thereafter. Don’t tell what you ought to do or intend to do. Aside from a sitting hen, nothing is more uncertain than the person who always intends but delays to do this or .that.
