Biography: 

The "scrip dollar" that replaces Confederate money in Jefferson is "drawn on the United States Resident Treasurer, Yoknapatawpha County" (199). All we see of this functionary in the story is his "neat clerk's hand[writing]" (199), but presumably he is one of the Northerners working in the defeated South for one of the Reconstruction agencies.
