For this you can use text-overflow: ellipsis; property. Write like this

span {
    display: inline-block;
    width: 180px;
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden !important;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book
