Biography:
When Cotton goes inside Varner's store, he talks with "the clerk, whose name was Snopes" (159). There are a great many Snopeses in the Yoknapatawpha fictions. This one may be the most famous of them all: Flem Snopes, whose climb up the social ladder begins, as The Hamlet describes in detail, when he acquires the job at Varner's store. Given the time frame for this story, however, it's more likely to be some other Snopes. (When he rewrote "The Hound" for inclusion in The Hamlet, the clerk is named Lump Snopes.)
