Biography: 

The "pussel-gutted" (61) Sheriff of Yoknapatawpha, Hub Hampton is a Baptist deacon with seemingly little natural inclination or motivation for his job. Nevertheless, he manages to keep law and order in town. He is described as "a meat-eating hard-shell Baptist deacon whose purest notion of pleasure was counting off the folks he personally knowed was already bound for hell" (58).
