Building was Damaged in a fire Last Year
By Richard "Scoop" Carails- Two Trees Times

Two Trees, Texas- Phineas J. Creer, owner of the Creer Mercantile Co. of Two Trees, Texas, announced Saturday that work is nearing completion on the restoration and rebuilding of the Creer Building. The building has been damaged in a fire about a year ago and has had its second story in almost complete construction. The fire was accidentally set by two new engineers that ran a special section through Two Trees. It was mistakenly reported that the Two Trees, Texas depot had been set alight…however, the fire at the depot was small and did little damage.

“We are anxious,” said Two Trees Times owner and Editor R.E. Porter, “to move in up stairs.”

The Two Trees Times will be moving into the upstairs offices once the roof is fully repaired.

“Bring it on!’”

Set My buildings alight, will he? Oooooo, of course you know...thing means war!!!

Last time Brits burned down something in America, aside from Argentina, it was the WHITEHOUSE (circa the War of 1812). I guess its a habit hard to break!!!

Well, Saratoga and Yorktown will live again!!!

(just kidding...I may have to build that USAAF airfield after all)

All in good spirits,
Capt Carrales
