Upon sale the president and treasurer shall issue a new certificate of stock to the purchaser and the delinquent stockholder shall surrender his certificate to be canceled and may have a new one for his unsold shares. If he held bonds, coupons or certificates for fractions of stock, he shall not be entitled to commute them or to receive any dividends on them until he has paid his assessment, with 12% interest.
