137 Citizens who are 75 years of age or more in 1930 -- Greene County, Arkansas

Bud Ryan popular owner of the Ryan Cafe, put the big pot in the little one so to speak in his royal, big entertainment of the aged people of Greene county at his well known place of business at noon today. When he served his guests a sumptous chicken dinner. A total of 137 guests, who have attained or passed the age of 75 years, shared in his hospitality by sitting at his festal board. The large dining room of the cafe was filled to overflowing when the guests filed in and were seated. Tables were extended from one end of the room to the other, symbolical of Bud's smile which extended from ear to ear, as he gave to each of the guests the glad hand and expressions of a cordial welcome, he as happy as the happiest guest present and all were happy.

Following the feast at the cafe, the aged guests were ushered to the Capitol Theater where John Collins, the manager of that poplar playhouse, entertained them in the presentation of "Paramount on Parade" a very interesting all - talking picture.

It was a great feast, and it was a great time a big occasion that will stand out in the memory of the aged guests and their host of friends, through the years to come. Each of the aged guests registered his or her name with Miss Mary Ida Ryan, giving age, date of birth an place of residence.
