(From Thursdays Daily.)

With the many changes in the makeup of the personnel of the official family of Yavapai coun- ty which is due to take place on January lst will come also number of changes in appointive offices, the recent partial republican victory in this county insuring a considerable change in the political complexion of the various attaches.

Jaeger and Midgley - the efficient democratic clerk. K. T. Belcher, will be forced to hand over his responsibilities to booster of the c. O. F., and current gossip about the court house says that K.
