What is this plant with bells hanging from it?

There is a plant in the edge of my woods that I'm sure no one planted there. It must be some wild shrub but I'm not sure what it is. I live in the NE corner of Mississippi. The size and leaves look very similar to a crape myrtle but today I noticed it has several clusters of small, white, bell-shaped flowers hanging from it. Anybody have an idea of what this might be? Thanks!

Did a little searching. I think it might be a maleberry, Lyonia ligustrina.
