The telegraph office is near the Square, and close enough to Dr. Peabody's office for him to pass it on his way to work in the morning, but Faulkner never describes it in any detail.
Characters send telegrams in three texts, including The Sound and the Fury, but in that novel Jefferson's "Western Union" telegraph office also serves as a place where residents who want to speculate on the commodities market congregate (226).
"A small frame house painted a sultry prodigious yellow, near the railway station," where the family of I. O. Snopes lives (235). The restaurant that he runs for his cousin Flem is presumably somewhere nearby.
In Flags in the Dust I.O. Snopes and his family live in Jefferson in this "small frame house painted a sultry prodigious yellow, near the railway station" (235). The side-street restaurant that he runs for his cousin Flem is presumably somewhere nearby.
Deacon Rogers' place on the Square is more than a restaurant. Its "cluttered but clean front section" sells groceries (119), the restaurant tables and kitchen are in the back, and beyond them, behind a door, is the small back room where Young Bayard drinks toddies made from the moonshine whisky Rafe MacCallum provides, mixed with sugar and lemons supplied by Deacon. "Rogers'" is mentioned again in Faulkner's next novel, The Sound and the Fury.
To get to the livery stable from Courthouse Square, Young Bayard and Rafe MacCallum turn into a side street, pass "before negro shops, and between a busy grist mill and a silent cotton gin," then to the end of a lane full of "tethered horses and mules" in front of a blacksmith shop to a "long dun-colored brick building smelling of ammonia" with a paddock (126).
