Biography:
After referring to the "incoming Snopeses" as a group, the narrator singles out one to individualize: "there was one, an invalid of some sort, who operated a second-hand peanut parcher" (167). A "parcher" is a pushcart for roasting and selling peanuts on the street. (It's possible that in Faulkner's imagination this is the Snopes who appears in later fictions as Eck; Eck has been badly and permanently injured in an accident in Frenchman's Bend before he follows Flem into Jefferson.)
