How to make a row of paragraphs?

I just started designing websites about a month ago and usually when I am stuck I can google the answer but I can't seem to find an answer to this. How do you create a row of paragraphs and then separate each one with a line? I will leave a picture below just to clarify what I am talking about. I have been trying to float left and all that jazz but it doesn't really seem to be working. Sorry for my poor explanation but like I said I am new to this. Please let me know if I need to explain further.

(The paragraphs I am talking about are toward the bottom of the page): http://postimg.org/image/eizoyvtt7/f28b5ce2/

Fixed width parent
Float right on the last (but set first in the document flow)
Float left on the other two.
on the centre element:
left and right border-image (with a suitable image of course).
left and right padding to position the border.
left and right margin to set the distance between elements.

Not tested by the way
