"Varner's store in Frenchman's Bend" is mentioned in the text (in reference to Ratliff's "diction," 86), but as the location of an event this icon represents the various undescribed "country stores" that Ratliff visits on his trips around Yoknapatawpha (86). We located it on the site of Varner's store, in Frenchman's Bend, but the story does not give any details about the locations of these stores, except that they are in the countryside not the town of Jefferson.
The golf course that in The Sound and the Fury is contiguous to the Compson house "moves out to the country club in 1929" (355). This tells us the country club is "out" of town, though we have to speculate about how far and in what direction.
After World War II, property in response to the G.I. Bill that helped so many returning soldiers further their education, "the Jefferson Academy" adds a "vocational school" (373). This Academy cannot be the Jefferson Female Academy, in part because the novel suggests that Charles Mallison went there before going to college (388).
Education, like most aspects of social life in Yoknapatawpha, was rigidly segregated. When Linda Snopes Kohl returns from Spain, she challenges this system by going "without invitation or warning, into the Negro grammar and high school" to talk to the students (246). Everyone else's unhappiness with her actions, including the Negro principal's, is described, but not the school itself.
There's a golf course beside the Compson house in The Sound and the Fury. But we first hear about Yoknapatawpha's "country club" in Requiem for a Nun, when Temple sums up, with some bitterness, the life she and Gowan led after their marriage: one of the fashionable elements in it was "a country club with a country club younger set of rallying friends" with whom to drink on Saturday nights (124). This would have been in the early 1930s.
Originally the Jefferson Academy seems to be a private school for the children of the county's upper class, as separate from Jefferson's high school as they both are from the town's one "Negro grammar and high school" (The Mansion, 246). Charles Mallison attends the Academy in "Knight's Gambit" and The Mansion. According to that first fiction, it is not segregated by gender: Charles' mother went to "the female half of the Academy" (152). According to that second fiction, however, after World War II, probably in response to the G.I.
In Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha, education, like most aspects of social life, was rigidly segregated - although that racial reality is seldom explicitly acknowledged or described. When Isom talks about what he "learnt in school" in "There Was a Queen" (732), there is no further description of the school he went to.
As in The Town, the only other text to mention this restaurant, the "Dixie Cafe" seems to be on or near the Square, because the county supervisors order sandwiches from there during meetings in the courthouse (251).
