 pr. Dawson Called.
 The Rev. Dr. l.. o. Dawson, pastor of the First Baptist church, is in Troy, where he has been called to the pastorate of the Troy Baptist church, While the church at Troy is not as large as the church at St. Joseph Missouri, where Dr. Dawson was recently called, yet it is one of the wealthiest Baptist congregations in the state. It is the earnest hope of the entire community, however that the call will be declined by Dr. Dawson as it is felt that his work here is not com pleted and that his departure would be great loss. not only to his own people, but to the entire city.
