It Is no doubt true of most of us as was said by One of old that we have two doors opening Into our minds and hearts There is a front door that is never locked It opens directly into the main hallway of our natures and everyone is free to enter Here we meet our departed friend Mr Luton as the public knew him The genial yet quiet gentleman the practical business man speaking briefly if at all of current topics and news of the day Prompt attention to business in hand listening patiently and quietly while others talked of their woes end troubles ready to serve and help when needed This is the man everyone knew and re spected But there is another door a side door that opens directly into the very sanctum sanctorum of our natures and into this side door I was in these later years often permitted to enter Here I was permitted to follow him as lie lived over again thr days ot bis youth and early man hood He loved to talk of his life as a boy cn the farm of the little country church at Concord where his Sainted father ministered so many years Here he acquited that firm and abiding faith in God which never wandered through life the toils of years his busy life of his experiences at

of the Sallisaw public schools in his service as member and president of the Board of Education The late Argyle Quesenbury has been called the father of our Salli saw School System and when we think of it in its early formative period this is true but If Mr Ques enbury was the George Washington of our Public Schools system Mr Lu ton was certainly its Thomas Jelfer son and Abraham Lincoln both His wise hand has guided it safely through many perplexing difficulties with a minimum of friction and re taining the highest respect and es teem of the teaching force Looking back now over these past years we can realize more than ever how much Sages of Athens he would visit Pal estir he would sit on the Mount of Olives and look down on the Holy City he would walk beside the Sea of Galilee In the paths made sacred by the footsteps of the Great Master But more often in the later days his mind would coms back to the old home scenes in Tennessee The old farm the little church and hard by it the old cemetery to which he was taken by loving hands and where he rests amid its old familiar scenes of his boyhood that he loved so well NOTICE BY PUBLICATION IN THE DISTRICT COURT SEQUOYAH COUNTY
