How to place 3 different paragraphs next to each other?

In my footer I want to make 3 different sections of paragraphs-at left, middle and right. The 3 paragraphs should sit next to each other, not below each other.

This is how I was trying to do, but I failed to figure it out.

<footer>
        <div id="footer_box">

                        <p id="footer_text_left">
                        should sit at the left.
                        </p>

                        <p id="footer_text_middle">
                        should sit in the middle.
                        </p>
                    <p id="footer_text_right">
                        should sit at the right.

                        </p>

        </div>

                        </footer>

.CSS:

#footer_box{
    border-top:2px solid #009933;
    padding-bottom:75px;
    background-color:#3366CC;
    }
    #footer_text_left{
    font-size:15px;
    color:black;
    font-family:Euphemia;


    }
    #footer_text_middle{
    font-size:15px;
    color:black;
    font-family:Euphemia;

    }

    #footer_text_right{

    font-size:15px;
    font-family:Euphemia;
    color:black;

    }
