General Store in Yoknapatawpha (Location Key)

In "Barn Burning" this country store is the second one where a trial takes place; in The Hamlet, it's one of the three stores that are also legal venues. It is described in the story as a "weathered and paintless store with its tattered tobacco- and patent-medicine posters [with] . . . tethered wagons and saddle animals below the gallery" (17). Inside, the Justice of the Peace sits at a "plank table," obviously set up to create a kind of courtroom (17).
